It should be noted that GnuCOBOL actually translates COBOL to C, and

I never did it with COBOL but I did use 'f2c' to generate C code from
Fortran. When I saw the results I wrote the C code manually. It probably
would have compiled and ran but it was not maintainable. I've seen more
readable output from disassemblers.
