I have no idea. Maybe try the Cobol list?

Subject: COBOL user-defined functions

Does COBOL/400 or COBOL /ILE support user-defined functions in any fashion
(like RPG and all other modern languages)?

For example,

Move DayOfWeek(Date-input) to print-line

Where DayOfWeek is a user-defined function returning "Monday" or "Tuesday"
or etc.

If not, why not?

Thanks!
