In converting a student records system from an IBM Cobol system to Oracle client/server, we are not using any Cobol, even though I created a cobol program over a year ago that would access the Oracle database. This was a trial project just so we would know how to do it when the need arose. However, so far, no other Cobol programs have been necessary. We do reports with Oracle Reports, and batch updating is done with pl/sql running under SQL Plus.
The Pro Cobol manual from Oracle was all I needed to access the database from Cobol.
Good Luck,
Steve Cosner
