In OpenCOBOL under Cygwin, the forward slash "/" will certainly work as
a directoy-separator.
It'll probably work in other Win32 or Win64 COBOL compilers, as well,
because the Windows C library internally accepts "/" for that purpose,
but you would need to try it on the particular target platform you had
in mind.
