Can you do that in COBOL? I know it uses (well, used) more keywords than BASIC, but I'd no idea you could say such a thing. Mind you, it makes sense - it did tend to use words rather than symbols, for clarity. It was intended for, mainly, managers, i.e. non-technical people.

No, it wasn’t - it was intended for COBOL Programmers*, who in the 70s and 80s wrote most of the World’s business Systems in it (and you’d be amazed how many Legacy Systems are still running on it).
I was a coder in the 80’s and early 90s, using Mainframe Assembler, COBOL, RPG2, and SQL - never saw a Manager writing code (although they would sometimes give advice, if they were ex-coders).
