One blunt answer. You make the point that COBOL programmers often
look at things in terms of Structure Charts. While it isn't
really possible, imagine that overnight you could replace all the
COBOL programs with their functional equivalents written in
some OOPL, say EIFFEL, and you relaced the COBOL staff with EIFFEL
staff. Seems to me that this has little effect on the rest of the
boxes. You'd just need to say that now, P4 is usually stated in
terms of objects exchanging messages.
