Well, if you write Object-Oriented COBOL then part of it runs in the JVM so you would have partial zAAP exploitation. And a future version of Enterprise COBOL could exploit the XMLSS parser of z/OS...which would offload some more cycles on to zAPP. Can't tell you anything now, or I would have to shoot you. Of course, a vendor once told me if I had to shoot him, I am IBM, and the bullet would be years late and miss anyway. Ouch! But it was funny...
