Detab/65, which was distributed by the ACM, is a decision table preprocessor written in second-generation Cobol (Cobol-61). This paper indicates the history of decision tables, reviews their structure, advantages and disadvantages, and presents the modifications to Detab/65 that are needed to allow its compilation by Cobol-65 or ANS Cobol.
