This project is a COBOL-based Loan Management System designed for banks or government institutions. It handles loan applications, tracks repayments, calculates interest, and generates various reports.

Use a COBOL compiler (e.g., GnuCOBOL) to compile the COBOL programs.

cobc -x -o CreateLoanDataFile CreateLoanDataFile.cbl
cobc -x -o CreateRepaymentDataFile CreateRepaymentDataFile.cbl
cobc -x -o LoanManagementSystem LoanManagementSystem.cbl

Run the data file creation programs to initialize the loans.dat and repayments.dat files.

./CreateLoanDataFile
./CreateRepaymentDataFile

Execute the main program to start the Loan Management System.

./LoanManagementSystem
