Akuluakulu aku America ku New Jersey ayamba kufunafuna olemba mapulogalamu omwe amadziwa chilankhulo cha COBOL chifukwa chakuchulukirachulukira kwa ma PC akale pantchito yaku America chifukwa cha coronavirus. Monga The Register ikulemba, akatswiri adzafunika kusintha mapulogalamu pa mainframes azaka 40, omwe sangathenso kuthana ndi katundu womwe wakula kwambiri pakati pa kuchuluka kwa anthu omwe alibe ntchito chifukwa cha mliri wa Covid-19.
Kuperewera kwa opanga mapulogalamu a COBOL-savvy sikungokhala ku New Jersey. M'chigawo cha Connecticut, akuluakulu akufufuzanso akatswiri a chinenerochi, ndipo pamenepa kufufuzaku kukuchitika limodzi ndi akuluakulu a mayiko ena atatu. Tom's Hardware akulemba kuti zoyesayesa zawo, monga ku New Jersey, sizinayende bwino. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/new-jersey-cobol-coders-mainframes-coronavirus
Malinga ndi kafukufuku wa Computer Business Review (https://www.cbronline.com/news/cobol-code-bases) yomwe idachitika m'gawo loyamba la 2020, vuto lakufunika kosinthira mapulogalamu pakali pano likukumana ndi 70% yamakampani omwe, pazifukwa zina, amagwiritsabe ntchito mapulogalamu olembedwa ku COBOL. Chiwerengero chenicheni cha mabizinesi otere sichidziwika, koma malinga ndi a Reuters, mizere 2020 biliyoni ya chilankhulo ichi imagwiritsidwa ntchito padziko lonse lapansi mu 220.
COBOL imagwiritsidwa ntchito mwachangu osati m'machitidwe ogwirira ntchito, komanso m'mabungwe azachuma. Chilankhulo chazaka 61 chimapatsa mphamvu 43% yamabanki, ndipo 95% ya ma ATM padziko lonse lapansi amagwiritsa ntchito mapulogalamu opangidwa nawo pamlingo wina.
Chimodzi mwazifukwa zomwe mabungwe samafulumizitsa kusiya COBOL ndikusintha ku mapulogalamu omwe amapangidwa pogwiritsa ntchito zilankhulo zamakono ndi kukwera mtengo kokonzanso. Izi zidawonetsedwa ndi Commonwealth Bank of Australia, yomwe idaganiza zosinthiratu mapulogalamu onse olembedwa mu COBOL.
Oimira banki adanenanso kuti kusintha kwa pulogalamu yatsopanoyi kunatenga zaka zisanu - kunachitika kuyambira 2012 mpaka 2017. Mtengo wa chochitika chachikulu ichi umadziwika - zosinthazi zimawononga banki pafupifupi $750 miliyoni.
