COBOL programs connecting to SQL Server

Has anyone successfully made a connection to SQL Server using a COBOL program? Hoping to make a connection so that hundreds of COBOL programs don't need to be rewritten.

We use Microfocus to emulate the z/os (and DB2) environment on the Windows platform - we have a couple thousand Cobol programs successfully accessing Sql Server daily to run our entire legacy system. It's not cheap though.
