Abasemagunyeni kwilizwe laseMelika laseNew Jersey baqalisile ukukhangela abadwelisi benkqubo abalwaziyo ulwimi lweCOBOL ngenxa yomthwalo owandayo kwiiPC ezindala kwinkqubo yengqesho yaseMelika ngenxa yekoronavirus. Njengoko iRejista ibhala, iingcali kuya kufuneka zihlaziye isoftware kwii-mainframes ezineminyaka engama-40 ubudala, ezingasakwaziyo ukumelana nomthwalo okhule ngokukhawuleza phakathi kwenani elonyukayo labantu abangaphangeliyo ngenxa yobhubhani we-COVID-19.
Ukunqongophala kwabaprogram be-COBOL-savvy akuphelelanga eNew Jersey. Kwilizwe laseConnecticut, abasemagunyeni bafuna iingcali zolu lwimi, kwaye kule meko ukukhangela kuqhutywa ngokubambisana namagosa avela kwamanye amazwe amathathu. UTom's Hardware ubhala ukuba iinzame zabo, njengaseNew Jersey, azikakhokelela kwimpumelelo. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/new-jersey-cobol-coders-mainframes-coronavirus
Ngokutsho kweSaveyi yoPhononongo lweKhompyutha yoShishino (https://www.cbronline.com/news/cobol-code-bases) eqhutywe kwikota yokuqala ye-2020, ingxaki yesidingo sokuphucula isofthiwe okwangoku ijongene ne-70% yeenkampani, ngenxa yesizathu esinye okanye esinye, zisasebenzisa iinkqubo ezibhalwe kwi-COBOL. Elona nani lala mashishini alaziwa, kodwa ngokutsho kweReuters, imigca engama-2020 yeebhiliyoni zekhowudi yolu lwimi isetyenziswa kwihlabathi liphela ngo-220.
I-COBOL ayisetyenziswanga kuphela kwiinkqubo zengqesho, kodwa nakwimibutho yezemali. Ulwimi oluneminyaka engama-61 lunamandla angama-43 eepesenti zezicelo zebhanki, kunye ne-95% yee-ATM kwihlabathi jikelele zisebenzisa isoftware eyenziwe ngayo ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elithile.
Esinye sezizathu zokuba imibutho ingangxami ukushiya i-COBOL kwaye itshintshele kwiinkqubo ezenziwe kusetyenziswa iilwimi zenkqubo yangoku lixabiso eliphezulu lokuhlaziya. Oku kubonakaliswe yi-Commonwealth Bank yase-Australia, eyagqiba ekubeni ithathe indawo ngokupheleleyo zonke izicelo ezibhalwe kwi-COBOL.
Abameli bebhanki babika ukuba ukutshintshwa kwesofthiwe entsha kuthathe iminyaka emihlanu - kwenzeka ukusuka kwi-2012 ukuya kwi-2017. Iindleko zesi siganeko esikhulu siyaziwa - ukuhlaziywa kubiza ibhanki phantse i-750 yezigidi zeedola.
