I-IBM imemezele isinqumo sayo sokushicilela isihlanganisi solimi lohlelo lwe-COBOL yesikhulumi seLinux ngo-Ephreli 16. Umhlanganisi uzohlinzekwa njengomkhiqizo wobunikazi. Inguqulo ye-Linux isekelwe kubuchwepheshe obufanayo njengomkhiqizo we-Enterprise COBOL we-z/OS futhi inikeza ukuhambisana nakho konke okucacisiwe kwamanje, okuhlanganisa izinguquko ezihlongozwayo kuzinga lika-2014.
Ngokungeziwe ku-compiler yokuthuthukisa engasetshenziswa ukwakha izinhlelo zokusebenza ezikhona ze-COBOL, ihlanganisa isethi yamalabhulali wesikhathi sokusebenza adingekayo ukuze kuqhutshwe izinhlelo ku-Linux. Esinye sezici ezigqamayo yikhono lokusebenzisa izinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlanganisiwe ezindaweni zamafu ezixubile ezisebenzisa inkundla ye-IBM Z (z/OS), IBM Power (AIX) kanye ne-x86 (Linux). Ukusabalalisa okusekelwe kufaka phakathi i-RHEL ne-Ubuntu. Ngokusekelwe emandleni nokusebenza kwayo, inguqulo ye-Linux ibonwa njengefanele ukuthuthukiswa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza zebhizinisi ezibaluleke kakhulu.
Kulo nyaka, i-COBOL ihlanganisa iminyaka engu-62 ubudala futhi isengenye yezilimi ezindala kakhulu zokuhlela ezisetshenziswa kakhulu, kanye noyedwa wabaholi ngokwenani lekhodi ebhaliwe. Kusukela ngo-2017, ama-43% wezinhlelo zamabhange aqhubekile nokusebenzisa i-COBOL. Ikhodi ye-COBOL isetshenziselwa ukucubungula cishe u-80% wemisebenzi yezezimali yomuntu siqu kanye namatheminali angu-95% okwamukela izinkokhelo zamakhadi asebhange. Isamba esiphelele sekhodi esetshenziswayo silinganiselwa kumigqa eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-220. Ngenxa ye-GnuCOBOL compiler, ukusekelwa kwe-COBOL epulatifomu ye-Linux kwakukhona ngaphambilini, kodwa izikhungo zezezimali azizange zicatshangelwe njengesixazululo sokusetshenziswa kwezimboni.
