Re: was it seman's contracting dicks?
I once expressed amazement to a recruiter that *anyone* could fail the standard COBOL programming test that the client was using the filter applicants. He assured me that about 80% of the people claiming to know the language did fail it.
Of 30 questons, 29 were trivially easy. The only one that wasn't was about a construct I never once (in 40 years of working with COBOL) ever saw anyone actually use. It was about PERFORM...VARYING...WITHIN...VARYING...
