You can hack the following COBOL program:

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. PAYMENT_COBOL.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 INTMO    PIC S9(3) COMP.
01 NPMTS    PIC S9(3) COMP.
LINKAGE SECTION.
01 INTYR    PIC S9(3) COMP.
01 NYEARS      PIC S9(8) COMP.
01 BAL      PIC S9(12)V99 COMP.
01 PMT      PIC S9(12V99 COMP.

PROCEDURE DIVISION USING INTYR
             NYEARS
             BAL
             PMT.

A00.
   COMPUTE INTMO = ((INTYR / 12.00) / 100.00).
   COMPUTE NPMTS = (NYEARS * 12).
   COMPUTE PMT = (BAL * (INTMO / (1.00 - ((1.00 + INTMO) ** (- NPMTS))))).
   EXIT PROGRAM.
