"You have to have a valid business reason to do that." Vecchio says the combination of transferring and rewriting COBOL applications, which require as much as five times as many lines of code as Java or C#, in a single step is a "recipe for disaster." New applications are being written in more recent languages, unless they require batch processing, for which COBOL is still utilized.

"What are you getting for the expense?" says Mike Dooley, a software engineering manager. However, rewriting mainframe-based COBOL programs is a large and risky undertaking that most organizations are carrying out with great caution.

COBOL has been around since 1960, but its procedural approach is not well suited to writing interactive programs and Web-based front ends. The survey found that 62 percent of 352 responding IT managers use COBOL, although 36 percent say they plan to gradually move away from it, while 25 percent say rewriting all the code is too expensive.

"Nobody wants COBOL, but realistically they can't get rid of it," says Gartner's Dale Vecchio.
