Go to the COBOL FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) - see the message
posted by Bill Klein on 2005 Apr 24.
Unfortunately nothing in this world is truly FREE. So although you can
start 'cheap' with compilers to 'play around', the final price for a
full-blown 'commercial' compiler that you can use for applications can
get expensive. Other than the 'commercial' compilers - using the COBOL
FAQ - look at the 'Open Source' compilers.
