I think you are thinking about it all wrong.
COBOL code that has been working since the 60s is a lot more safe than new code would be. If it is commission critical and complex, keep it in COBOL where it works and pay lots of cash for additional features.
Rather then migrate it over in hopes you don’t have to pay for training, but then deal with tons of risk of systems breaking that haven’t broken in 50+ years.
