in thread shameful admission

we used to think there were more lines of COBOL in the universe than any other language

Is that because you need almost seven hundred lines of COBOL just to print "hello world"? ;-) See http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/cobol/hworld.html (well, maybe it's not 700 after all)

    No, it can be done with much less. The following will torture many a soul.

    0000-MAIN. CALL 'printf' USING 'Hello, World' END-CALL. EXIT.
