The availability of FUNCTION FACTORIAL was
acknowledged in the first post. The request was for
code that does not use the function.

Furthermore, as much as I understand the factorial function
is already available in modern COBOL implementations, so it is difficult to
find a suitable program (at least, what I found with Google is either
untested or looks suboptimal). If factorial would not be available, how
would it look like in modern COBOL?
