Visual COBOL - Object-Oriented Programming for COBOL - Object-Oriented COBOL - https://www.microfocus.com/documentation/visual-cobol/vc50/VS2019/GUID-A80CA9E8-7B68-4637-91E9-42078C8C9275.html - Managed COBOL is the collective term for JVM COBOLand .NET COBOL. Managed COBOL is regular procedural COBOL with extensions to take advantage of the features of the managed frameworks. This includes COBOL object-oriented (COBOL OOP - OOP COBOL) syntax that allows access to large libraries of functionality you can use in your COBOL application, and much more. To take full advantage of Managed COBOL, it is helpful to understand the object oriented COBOL concepts. See also: https://cobol.ninja/object-oriented-cobol

Have The Borg rewrite Effective Java for COBOL-2023 as Effective COBOL-2023

See:

Writing object-oriented COBOL programs - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cobol-zos/6.4?topic=programs-writing-object-oriented
- When you write an object-oriented (OO) program, you have to determine what classes you need and the methods and data that the classes need to do their work.

Communicating with Java methods - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cobol-zos/6.4?topic=programs-communicating-java-methods
- To achieve COBOL interoperability with Java, you need to follow certain rules and guidelines for using services in the Java Native Interface (JNI), coding data types, and compiling COBOL programs.
