The evaluation and grading of student programs can be difficult and time-consuming for instructors of introductory programming courses. Some work has been done towards automating the correction of programs written in algorithmic languages, but little has been done to solve the problem for instructors of Cobol. The AGSICP system utilizes the batch capabilities of Watbol to set up a procedure for assigning student problems, batching debugging runs, and finally automatically grading each student's completed program by checking diagnostics and comparing the output from the student version against the correct version. The instructor has the capability and responsibility of assigning partial credit for different output fields. Each student's grade report consists of the Watbol diagnostics, any incorrect output lines, and a final grade.
