You can't add a function in COBOL.

Can't say I know of an *implementation* that provides the capability to
declare and invoke user-defined functions, but I can say that the 2002 COBOL
standard most certainly requires support for it. 'Tain't even a
"processor-dependent feature".
I'd be surprised if absolutely nobody had included this much-demanded
feature in their pre-2002 implementations as a vendor extension ... Maybe
*you* can't adde a function in COBOL, but I'm not convinced the *submitter*
can't, and I certainly don't see a reason to extend that prohibition to the
Known Universe as a Universal Truism ...

| Micro Focus has had this capability for a while - if you check out their
"vocabulary" feature. However, the ISO 2002 Standard method isn't available
(that I know of) in MF.

That is one of Cobols great failings.
The limited set of functions defined for us is nice, but hardly close to
a reasonable subset of universally useful functions...
