J$ (INCITS aka ANSI COBOL) Committee update

| William M. Klein 2006-05-08, 9:55 pm |
| From a recent J4 email distribution:
"The following documents have been posted:
...
06-0030 - Status of Officer Position - Chairman for INCITS/J4, Programming
Language COBOL - Two Calls for Volunteers Closed Without Response (Garner)
Note in 06-0030 that the actions that the INCITS SDB will be forced to consider
in July if no one volunteers to serve as chairman of J4 before than will most
likely result in the disbandment of J4."
For those interested in reading 06-0030, see:

| Hmm, Link to INICITS/RD-3 within the doc doesn't appear to work.

Wow, that certainly is discouraging, though not all that surprising. I'm
guessing you aren't going to volunteer?

Discouraging? Given the track record of J4, it might be the best thing that
has ever happened to COBOL.
There were so many opportunities where they could have made a difference. It
never happened.
It's a pity they didn't disband it 20 years ago. Instead they boondoggled
their way through 17 years, finally producing a document that required a New
York Law Firm to interpret, and by then it was too little too late. (Didn't
stop the Chair from accepting an award for the fantastic effort they put in
though... I dunno how the guy sleeps nights.)
