I think 80% of active code being COBOL can not possibly be true. Computer use and "active code" have probably grown exponentially over the years, and the new stuff hasn't been in COBOL for a long time.


Thats a Gartner Group claim from 1997. I wonder what would the share be now according to them.


For 1997 I can believe it - thanks for the info!
