Although it was solved years ago by Source Recovery Company.  They are
still taking OS/VS COBOL (and other modules) and returning COBOL source
code today!  http://www.source-recovery.com/

I think the biggest hindrance to moving applications forward is extremely
cautious applications support personnel.  Many times I hear that they are
afraid to re-link, much less recompile!
