-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2020 12:35 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Still COBOL After All These Years? ** EXTERNAL EMAIL - USE CAUTION ** The claim that COBOL is English like is every bit as bogus as the claim that rewriting existing COBOL applications in another language will magically fix problems of underfunding, understaffing and general mismanagement. BTW, when the language du jour is out of fashion, will they want to rewrite the application again, with the same pretext? And will they ensure that this time they have adequate documentation and adequate configuration control? -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
