I might add to the existing comments that the internal SQL CoProcessor and CICS Translator have been available since 2001...but why rush?
Some of the new COBOL 6 language features are not supported by the external translator, COBOL's TRUE/FALSE for example will grind the external translator to a halt. More COBOL changes are coming that will not be supported. Watch our for bad coding practices because the COBOL 6 compiler will enforce rules. Zero subscripts are treated as a value 1 in COBOL 4, but fail in COBOL 6. Of course these have always been the "rules", its just that the IBM compilers did not enforce them.
