La norme CAN/CSA Z243.39F portant sur le langage de programmation Cobol précise la syntaxe et la sémantique d'un langage de programmation impératif/algorithmique qui fait appel à une procédure sans toutefois être extensible et qui établit une distinction entre les programmes et les données. De la sorte, la forme d'un programme rédigé en Cobol est précisé tout comme d'ailleurs les structures des données et les règles d'interprétation des programmes et des données. 1, record 4, French, - langage%20de%20programmation%20imp%C3%A9ratif%2Falgorithmique
