    Perhaps, I don't know.  How would the C program access
    the data?  I imagine it would be possible for the COBOL
    program to call a C program & execute it but I've no
    idea what those programs would look like.  Maybe I need
    to take these questions to my COBOL vendor...

there's a C library for accessing Postgres databases. You could link it in with your COBOL linker, perhaps.

I was able to call C from COBOL and vice versa on a BS2000 mainframe
back in 89 already. If it doesn't work with your environment, try to get
back your money.
