The one classic COBOL feature I wanted in other languages was MOVE CORRESPONDING -- being able to clone all or parts of a hierarchical structure. It's the same concept as a DOM deep clone. It's probably found its way into XML processing (unless its deprecated in newer COBOLs). > I spent six months enhancing the schema compiler for a database product, which was about 25K lines of COBOL. String handling wasn't a COBOL strong point the last time I used it. That's why a schema compiler or XML parser would be challenging. My guess is the new object COBOL has a string class. > MOVE 0 TO X. or x = 0;
