| Abstract | Although the Common Business Oriented Language was originally designed for use in business data processing, the language is now being employed as a simulation language under certain limiting conditions. Factors influencing the application of the language to simulation studies include its popularity, its self-documenting characteristic, its "believability," and its efficiency in programming the triangular distribution.A necessary requisite in any simulation study is the programming of random number generators to simulate the random occurrence of various events. Several methods of generating random numbers are available, but the technique most frequently used is the power residue method. Since most simulation studies are programmed with FORTRAN (a general purpose language), simulation languages (SIMSCRIPT, GPSS, GASP, etc.), or machine languages, little attention has been devoted to programming the power residue method of random number generation with COBOL.A procedure is presented which describes and discusses COBOL programming of random number generation for the binary computer and the decimal computer utilizing the power residue method. Program excerpts are provided to illustrate the procedure, and comparative differences in COBOL programming for the two computer types are noted. Conditions most favorable to COBOL programming of simulation studies are also discussed, as well as the conditions under which COBOL programming is not recommended. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
