Ok, ok, so its been a while, but I have completed a program to do as you need 
as well as support most of the 'COPY' statement functions.

It has been announced in the Open Cobol forums but if you missed it you can 
get it from here as:

via the web http://applewoodbbs.mine.nu/files/Cobol-Dev/printcbl-latest.zip

or anonymous ftp applewoodbbs.mine.nu then after login 
cd pub/Cobol-Dev
bin
get printcbl-latest.zip

you can also run ls to get a list of all files in that area.
