While selection of the most appropriate programming language for a particular application is indirectly left to the programmer(s), Cobol is especially well-suited for applications that emphasize the manipulation of characters, records, files, and input/output (in contrast to those primarily concerned with scientific and numeric computations).

CONT

Bien que le choix du langage de programmation NCTTI le plus pertinent pour une application donnée soit laissé, indirectement, à la discrétion du programmateur, le Cobol convient particulièrement bien aux applications qui exigent beaucoup de manipulation de caractères, d'enregistrements, de fichiers et d'entrées-sorties (par opposition à celles qui nécessitent plutôt des calculs scientifiques et numériques).
