I checked this at work today. The one-line COBOL program

display "hello world".

compiled and ran perfectly well, and produced the required output. Right, now to get Microfocus to implement COBOL for the Pi.

Since their compilers are based on the "POP" pseudocode system, the port should be quite easy. (But given the expected market size, it would be a labor of love.)

OpenCOBOL?

sudo apt-get install open-cobol

Works out of the box on a standard Raspbian install.
