  1. A well written Cobol program is easily understandable, unlike most languages.

  2. I programmed old main frame Cobol for over 30 years. Nobody should try to convert these old systems. Businesses need to document what these these old systems do, to create a requirements document for a clean new system. It’s possible to run into code that depends on tape processing, JCL executions and other weird things that are not in the code, but the code depends on them to process correctly. I’ve been retired for years, no one could pay me to analyze old Cobol again.
