I am not going to support or refute the main thrust of this post, but

Actually, the COBOL 2002 standard does stipulate user-defined
functions. Some may say it's pretty late to the party, but proper
functions didn't make it into RPG until pretty late also, from a C or
Pascal point of view. And COBOL 2002 also includes object-oriented
support in the form of classes (roughly like Java), which as far as I
know has yet to make it into RPG.
