I once worked for a company that used this language for it's main software product (for insurance claims management): https://www.dbcsoftware.com/index.html https://www.dbcsoftware.com/index.html It was very, very similar to COBOL, and was the closest I ever got to using COBOL. My work there was involved with developing an internally used piece of software written in Visual Basic, so I wasn't involved in the main product, but at one point they wanted to run everyone who did any kind of programming thru a set of training sessions on the language. I found that it was just -barely- possible to build a version of Breakout using the language; it wasn't great, but it did work. Later I used some of the extended functionality that was built into the language for network access to build a simple HTTP server; nothing fancy of course, just something to see if it could be done. I am not sure how I feel about the language - or about COBOL in general, beyond it's legacy/historical value...
