Well, as for expectations, the systems are only expected to do today 
what they were expected to do when they were installed.

Mostly it's an inventory / materials management application that was 
written for a platform that the vendor has migrated off of.  Or the 
customers don't want to pay to migrate to the new platform.  So we are 
being paid to continue running the old platform as it's doing exactly 
what it's designed to do.

I assume you meant it as a joke, but I have done just enough COBOL to 
complete Master the Mainframe training a few years ago.  As a norm I 
don't do anything with COBOL.  ;-)
