I dunno---  many, many years ago we had 2 S/3/15/D machines.  One shop was
RPG, one was COBOL.  I had occasion to write some COBOL programs from
scratch, and I -did- code them using my own version of the RPG cycle.  It
made a -very- 'logical' program!

cycle from the debugging template in my sleep.  (:
