COBOL2000 (BS2000/OSD) V1.2 supports the Addendum to the ANSI X3.23a-1989
standard and ISO/IEC 1989 Amendment 1, Intrinsic Function Module, as well as
the COBOL X3.23-1985 High Level standard. In addition, COBOL2000 V1.2
supports the main object-oriented functionalities and basic functions of the
COBOL2002 standard ( = ISO 1989:2002 Programming Language COBOL).

Looks very much like how Unisys describes their OO-COBOL which is licenced
from Hitachi.

I have just downloaded the manuals (from
http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com/...an_us/cobol.htm ) and
will have a look.

Yours,
