This combination FOCEXEC and COBOL program produces what I like to call "course status sheets". It generates a nice one page matrix type report that lists all of the available courses for a given term along with numbers indicating its "fullness". One page reports are always a big hit with folks like deans and VPs. On a side note, yes I am sure it is possible to produce a report like this using strictly FOCUS. However, I am the type of person who likes to always take the 'easy' solution. So in this situation, I prefer to use FOCUS for all of the report writing stuff and COBOL for everything else it can't handle.
