Parsing cobol is actually not bad. The grammar is pretty simple; the "rail road" diagrams correspond to the recursive descent parser very directly.

Interesting, I remember it be harder than that. But, when I had to write a basic parser during the Y2K storm, I was still a bit green in my programming skillsets.

Hmm, yea. I guess I'll have to take a look and see how they handled it. Thanks for the link!
