Baking? Nice typo. 80% or Chefs choose z/OS.

According to the articles I found, COBOL is still used worldwide by most Banks, Finance and Administrative companies, Insurance companies and Governments. And I also found a statistic that stating that as of 2002 there were over two million COBOL programmers world-wide, compared to only one million C++ programmers!

And I am sure this is because of two very different marketplaces. The business mainframe market is vertical with only a couple of copies of most code ever being used at once, but accessed many times via terminal access, whereas the commercial marketplace is horizontal with a lot of copies being used at any one time over a shorter lifespan, and so is instead coded in C++.

Do you both now use OO-COBOL? Or just the older original COBOL?

The old one
I think most companies still use Cobol II version (quite old) ...
