Take a look at GCC-COBOL. It used to be Open COBOL. Not sure how well it works with DB2, but it's worth a look.

We are looking at moving an application to DB2/UDB on zLinux (Suse). That application has 6 Stored Procedures that have been written in Cobol. What are some of my options? Hiring or training a programmer to convert 6 programs to C, just doesn't seem feasible. But then, buying a Cobol compiler just for 6 programs also doesn't seem cost effective. What other options have shops employed? Are there multiple Cobol compiler vendors available? Micro Focus Cobol? Does IBM's Visual Age/Cobol work in zLinux (or still available)?
