We had to do much the same in college, except that we had to punch our own cards. All in all, it wasn't a big challenge, if one didn't mind having to arrive at school at 3 AM to find an available machine. But speaking of errors, I tried creating one program in COBOL; IIRC, it was 83 lines, but managed to spew 107 errors. Even the COBOL expert in the white coat who worked in the computer center couldn't find a single error in my code. I never tried COBOL again, since FORTRAN was all the school required us to learn.
Will Rogers never met me.
