The answer is "it depends".  If you're doing batch programming, then you 
don't need a web application server.  And if I understand it correctly, 
the TUI tools will generate green screen COBOL applications.

However, if you plan to do web development you need a web application 
server.  For testing, there is a WebSphere Test Environment built right 
into the tool.  Easy to use, no expertise required.  Just fire up your 
EGL application and go.  For deployment, you can export an EAR file and 
deploy it to WAS, or export a WAR file and deploy it to Tomcat.
