Tuna is one of the healthier fishes. It has higher mercury levels, but unless you're eating it every day you're fine.
Most cobol systems have more code that doesn’t do anything vs code that actually does something.
What values do variables ROBERT1, ROBERT2 and ROBERT3 hold? Whatever ROBERT wanted.
And when that system is storing high-risk and/or sensitive data, do you really want to be the person who deletes code that you think "actually does nothing", only to find out it somehow stopped another portion of code from breaking?
The reason why these things still exist is business laziness. They don’t know and don’t care what cobol is or isn’t doing.
That's the thing - tor a risk-averse industry (most companies running COBOL systems belong here), being the guy who architected the move away from COBOL is a high-risk, high-stress job with little immediate rewards. At best, the move goes seamlessly, and management knows you as "the guy who updated our OS or something and saved us some money but took a few years to do it, while Bob updated our HR system and saved a bunch of money in 1 year". At worst, you accidentally break something, and now you have a fiasco on your hands.
what if you have a mortage and your bank account shows -$300k?
this is a barbaric act with no regard for human life.
It's Russia, were you surprised?

it takes work and money, but that's the price you pay if you're protective of your data.
