More significantly, the business did not know the current state of the database – so transactions were not really processed until the next morning. Solving these two problems required the next evolutionary step, online systems. This step also made it much easier to write applications."   In one site, the COBOL programs written for an IBM-compatible mainframe were 4 pages long, including file descriptions.   The on-line programs using a DBMS ran to 110 pages without any file descriptions that were simply INCLUDEd during compile time.   On-line systems made it much easier to write applications?   They must have some high-quality weed up in Washington state!
