@LostInCalifornia @Leyonhjelm @polarisera I have made it my mission to reply to every single one of these COBOL threads, so nothing personal but

it's completely made up, I guess they're just lying because no COBOL system uses 1875 as its epoch date. It just doesn't exist, there is no reference to it on the Internet, none. (Some archaic systems use 1899.) It didn't work anyway because they found thousands of people even older than 150.
