cobol date routines, do they exist like RPG ILE

Hello everyone, I have a little issue with a COBOL programmer who is trying 
to convert a field in a file with a numeric value of  20030302  to a DDS 
screen with a date field defined as a L type date 8 positions but MM/DD/YYYY 
in a COBOL ILE program. I know in RPG ILE its not an issue, but they are new 
to the AS400 and I have no idea if cobol has any routines built in that RPG 
has.  If anyone could supply a some samples it would be appreciated. 

Thanks
