All,

I am sure that there must be some dynamic Web sites backed by COBOL -
however, I'm having trouble finding any. Can anyone point me in the
right direction?

Thanks,

"My" company (the company I work for) has a multiplatform ERP written in
COBOL that (apart for mainframe) has only a web interface.
The COBOL program writes the map, then another (COBOL) program converts
it in a packed form, and the web server converts it it XML and then in
HTML.

Very fast and ... elegant, it run on AIX, Unix, Linux and Win32.
The "green screen" edition run on MVS-VSE and AS/400 and we resort to
screen scraping; I crafted the new AS/400 comunication daemon (that
works without screen scraping and without draining the costly AS/400
interactive power) so we have both "versions" on this platform.

You can see some docs on www.rds-software.com.
