ADDITION

Cobol language	Operation	Comments
ADD B TO A	A = A + B	-
ADD B C TO A	A = A + B + C	-

ADD B C GIVING A	A = B + C	-

SUBTRACTION

Cobol language	Operation	Header text
SUBTRACT B FROM A	A = A - B	-
SUBTRACT B C FROM A	A = A - B - C	-
SUBTRACT B C FROM A GIVING D	D = A - B - C	-

DIVISION

Cobol language	Operation	Comments
DIVIDE 2 INTO A	A = A / 2	-
DIVIDE 2 INTO A GIVING B	B = A / 2	-
DIVIDE A BY 2 GIVING B	B = A / 2	-
