Original Note:
There is no evidence of a "date epoch" in cobol. A O based date in COBOL would likely calculate a persons age as 2025 years old. ISO 8601 aims to define how dates should be formatted (not calculated) to avoid ambiguity and does not dictate a "base" or default year. https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/31288/does-or-did-cobol-default-to-1875-05-20-for-corrupt-or-missing-dates https://www.iso.org/iso-8601-date-and-time-format.html
