Hi Listers

I made some research on the net to find out how many lines of cobol were
running in today's production systems, but I could not find out a strong
validated and (why not audited) figure.

In my understanding from the various sources, it is counting in billions of
lines....which is quite large in term of evaluation....Does anybody could
give me more precise numbers, specially on past, present and future
estimations??

Thanks in advance.
