Now the proble over here is that I want to try out my Cobol progams
back at my Home ( as at my work Place it will not be appriciated) .

Yes, I've worked at a lot of shops like that; all they want you to do is
write the code, if you want to test the program as part of debugging they
get all upset.

What you want to do is... nothing. Write the code, compile it, go home
and come back the next day saying 'Yes, I tested it, everything looked to
be fine.' Then, when the program blows up - or even better, runs for
months while creating bad output - you can say 'That's funny, it worked
great at home... maybe you have different data here that I didn't test
against.'

They will be so impressed that they will make you a manager... and I know
this because I am the King of England.
