"It is estimated that there are approximately 200 billion lines of COBOL code in production, with 5 billion lines of new code added to these highly valued core production systems each year. As much as 70% of business data worldwide is stored on mainframes and approximately 80% of daily business transactions are processed in COBOL. There are about 1.5 - 2 million developers globally developing and maintaining COBOL code today.
