CBT file 321, COBANAL will scan all the compiler option bits in the load library member and tell you what it found if it knows the version of the compiler. I'm pretty sure it supports VS VOBOL II, so that should get you the answers you need.
It will also identify the compiler and version used for a number of other languages besides COBOL, including PL/1, C/C++, FORTRAN, RPG, EzTrieve. It's not perfect, but it catches an awful lot. See the SYSPRINT DD output for the compiler option details per member, and the SUMMARY DD output for a one-line overview of what it finds for each member. SYSIN input can be used to specify a list of specific members, or use PARM for a single member or all members.

Is there a string that I can scan for to identify these programs?
