What problem does it solve? Writing COBOL programs requires knowledge of strict column formatting, division structure, and PIC clauses that most developers never learned. This Skill provides complete templates and patterns for building working calculator programs in COBOL without prior COBOL experience. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Complete Calculator Template: Provides a full CALCULADORA.cbl program with IDENTIFICATION, ENVIRONMENT, DATA, and PROCEDURE divisions, including input handling and formatted output. - Arithmetic Operation Patterns: Covers ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, DIVIDE, and COMPUTE syntax, plus safe division with zero-check error handling. - GnuCOBOL Build Commands: Includes compile, execute, debug, and syntax-check commands using cobc. - Use Case: You want to demonstrate GitHub Copilot Agent Mode by having it generate a COBOL calculator with sum, subtraction, multiplication, division, logarithm, and simple interest operations, then compile and run it with GnuCOBOL. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to create a COBOL calculator program that performs basic arithmetic operations and compile it with GnuCOBOL.
