Ua hoʻomaka nā mana o ka mokuʻāina ʻo ʻAmelika ʻo New Jersey e ʻimi i nā mea polokalamu i ʻike i ka ʻōlelo COBOL ma muli o ka hoʻonui nui ʻana o nā PC kahiko i ka ʻōnaehana hana ʻAmelika ma muli o ka coronavirus. E like me kā The Register e kākau ai, pono nā loea e hoʻonui i ka polokalamu ma nā papa nui 40 mau makahiki, ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokō hou i ka ukana i ulu nui ma waena o ka nui o ka poʻe hana ʻole ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi CoVID-19.
ʻAʻole i kaupalena ʻia ka liʻiliʻi o nā polokalamu polokalamu COBOL-savvy i New Jersey. Ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Connecticut, ke ʻimi pū nei nā luna i nā loea ma kēia ʻōlelo, a ma kēia hihia ke alakaʻi pū ʻia nei ka huli ʻana me nā luna mai ʻekolu mau mokuʻāina ʻē aʻe. Ua kākau ʻo Tom's Hardware i kā lākou hoʻoikaika ʻana, e like me New Jersey, ʻaʻole i alakaʻi i ka holomua. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/new-jersey-cobol-coders-mainframes-coronavirus
Wahi a kahi hōʻike loiloi ʻoihana kamepiula (https://www.cbronline.com/news/cobol-code-bases) i alakaʻi ʻia i ka hapaha mua o 2020, ʻo ka pilikia o ka pono e hoʻololi i nā polokalamu ke kū nei i kēia manawa e 70% o nā hui e hoʻohana mau nei i nā papahana i kākau ʻia ma COBOL. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka helu pololei o ia mau ʻoihana, akā e like me ka Reuters, 2020 biliona laina o ke code o kēia ʻōlelo i hoʻohana ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i 220.
Hoʻohana ikaika ʻia ʻo COBOL ʻaʻole wale i nā ʻōnaehana hana, akā i nā hui kālā. ʻO ka 61 makahiki ka mana o ka ʻōlelo i ka 43% o nā noi panakō, a ʻo 95% o nā ATM ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa e hoʻohana i nā polokalamu i hana ʻia me ia i kekahi ʻano.
ʻO kekahi o nā kumu e wikiwiki ʻole ai nā hui e haʻalele iā COBOL a hoʻololi i nā papahana i hana ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻōlelo papahana o kēia manawa ʻo ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe o ka hoʻonui ʻana. Ua hōʻike ʻia kēia e ka Commonwealth Bank of Australia, nāna i hoʻoholo e hoʻololi i nā noi āpau i kākau ʻia ma COBOL.
Ua hōʻike nā Lunamaka'āinana o ka panakō ua lawe ʻia ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka polokalamu hou i ʻelima mau makahiki - mai 2012 a 2017. Ua ʻike ʻia ke kumukūʻai o kēia hanana nui - ʻo ke kumukūʻai hou i ka panakō kokoke i $ 750 miliona.
