Excuse: I was very bored, and saw on some QuineInManyLanguages? Web site that such a thing was missing. If I recall correctly, this is version two. CobolLanguage presents an interesting challenge in writing such things in a number of ways, not least of which is the line length limit. Also there is a shorter version by Tom Dawes-Gamble (a real COBOL programmer) at http://www.tmdg.co.uk/programing/quine.cbl.php
