AFAIK, there is a little database embedded in COBOL, known as ISAM.
I don't think there are any SQL-style grant/revoke directives within COBOL, and mainframe developers in decades past likely did not spend too much time worrying about system security when the best I/O was a dialup modem.
And now we attach this old code to the internet.

IBM System/390 and newer store data in a indexed, record-based manner. > I don't think there are any SQL-style grant/revoke directives within COBOL I don't think there are any SQL-style grant/revoke directives within any language that is not SQL, Ada or Rust. To be fair, code dealing with grant/revoke should be done in migrations, not in the application code. If application code can do SQL grant/revokes by itself you have bigger issues anyways.
