The culture of most COBOL shops is so complacent that disruptive

John (and Steve),
I suspect COBOL programmers want to lean how to basically code COBOL
programs and how to debug them PERIOD.
I would suggest that any advanced facilities be taught in a separate
class only for programmers that want to be adventerous.
COBOL programmers are under the gun to be (if you must) work horses
and nothing else.
