I've actually been a part of a project that did just that. tons of $$$
spent to offload development to and Intel platform, and offload MF
processes to a grid like solution, tons of $$$ spent and the solution
did not meet expectation.

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.
