IBM yalengeza chisankho chake chofalitsa cholembera chilankhulo cha COBOL pa nsanja ya Linux pa Epulo 16. Wopangayo adzaperekedwa ngati chinthu chaumwini. Mtundu wa Linux udatengera matekinoloje omwewo monga Enterprise COBOL product for z/OS ndipo imapereka kuyanjana ndi zonse zomwe zilipo, kuphatikiza zosintha zomwe zaperekedwa mulingo wa 2014.
Kuphatikiza pa kukhathamiritsa kophatikiza komwe kungagwiritsidwe ntchito popanga mapulogalamu omwe alipo a COBOL, kumaphatikizaponso ma library ambiri omwe amafunikira kuyendetsa mapulogalamu pa Linux. Chimodzi mwazinthu zomwe zimadziwika bwino ndikutha kuyika mapulogalamu omwe asonkhanitsidwa m'malo osakanizidwa amtambo omwe amagwiritsa ntchito nsanja za IBM Z (z/OS), IBM Power (AIX) ndi x86 (Linux). Kugawa kothandizidwa kumaphatikizapo RHEL ndi Ubuntu. Kutengera kuthekera ndi magwiridwe ake, mtundu wa Linux umadziwika kuti ndi woyenera pakupanga mabizinesi ofunikira kwambiri.
Chaka chino, COBOL imatembenuza zaka 62 ndipo imakhalabe imodzi mwazinenero zakale kwambiri zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito mwakhama, komanso mmodzi mwa atsogoleri okhudzana ndi kuchuluka kwa ma code olembedwa. Pofika chaka cha 2017, 43% yamabanki adapitiliza kugwiritsa ntchito COBOL. Khodi ya COBOL imagwiritsidwa ntchito pokonza pafupifupi 80% yazachuma komanso 95% yamalo olandila kulandira ndalama zamakhadi aku banki. Chiwerengero chonse cha ma code omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito akuyerekeza mizere 220 biliyoni. Chifukwa cha compiler ya GnuCOBOL, chithandizo cha COBOL pa nsanja ya Linux chinalipo kale, koma sichinaganizidwe ndi mabungwe azachuma ngati njira yothetsera ntchito zamakampani.
