Hello,

Probably not. . .
You might not realize it but you just asked to be taught assembler. We are not able to provide this level of training.
Looking at assembler is fine as long as there is at least some existing knowledge of the assembler language. . . |

| Here's your impetus to take an assembler class. You'll learn what's actually going on, and it's fun, too! |

Razesh84,
with an assembler manual in hand,
and a cobol listing of a reasonably complex cobol program,
you can at least get a feel for what is done.
you won't learn how to write assembler,
but understanding how/what the cobol instructions are expanded to assembler will help you write better cobol.
a good example is look at the code generated to reference table items with subscripts
and compare the same code written with indexes. |

Follow-on:
If you want to read about assembler and would prefer a "book" rather than a reference manual, i suggest you find the book written by Kevin McQuillen (more than 30 years ago).
