Quoting jerzy.karczmarczuk@info.unicaen.fr:
But... tell me please, ANYONE, who takes part in this inspiring exchange: How many COBOL programs have you written in your life?
As you well know, only one COBOL program has ever been written. The rest are just modifications of it.
Actually, a more interesting problem is what you'd replace COBOL with, and how you'd go about it. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a modern language that you could write or rewrite new parts of your COBOL application in, and it all worked seamlessly with what you already had?
Do you think of something like ABAP? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABAP
