| depending on the cobol that you are using, there are reference and user guides to all the cobol manuals listed under the manuals' link at the top of the page. |

| The manuals are also dealing with the same four divisions. I didn't find any extra divisions in the manual. |

Hi Brindha !
ReportWriter is an old feature of Cobol. I used it in the early 19sixties.
COBOL Report Writer is COBOL's own built-in non-procedural facility for the production of printed output. It enables you to define and produce all the listings, reports, and displayed summaries that would normally be required from a COBOL application, but in far less time. It allows many more printed outputs, which might have been produced previously using stand-alone non-COBOL report generators, to be done in COBOL, because it reduces greatly the time and effort needed to code and test a COBOL program with printed output.
At IBM on the Web, you could find more information. Please have a look:
www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/cobolreportwriter/about/
