Subject: COBOL user-defined functions

Does COBOL/400 or COBOL /ILE support user-defined functions
in any fashion (like RPG and all other modern languages)?

For example,

Move DayOfWeek(Date-input) to print-line

Where DayOfWeek is a user-defined function returning "Monday"
or "Tuesday" or etc.

If not, why not?

Thanks!
