CobolScript

In computer programming, CobolScript is a COBOL-based scripting language. CobolScript has syntax familiar to COBOL programmers and is used for data conversion, batch interfaces, and server-side scripting. It has versions for Microsoft Windows, Linux, SunOS and FreeBSD.
Hello, world
The following program produces the HTML of a very simple web page, and can be run on a web server (standard output is redirected to the web browser).
<pre>
* "Hello world" program
*
DISPLAY `Content-type: text/html`.
DISPLAY LINEFEED.
DISPLAY `<HTML><BODY>`.
DISPLAY `<CENTER>Hello World</CENTER>`.
DISPLAY `</BODY></HTML>`.
</pre>
By default, CobolScript uses the grave accent to delimit strings (although this can be changed using command-line options).
