Speaking for COBOL II/iX only:

It wasn't a Y2K bug as such, but I found a problem with the
DATE-OF-INTEGER function in COBOL II/iX back in 1993 (SR 5003102004,
COBOL II/iX A.04.07, MPE/iX 4.0).  It gave a wrong result for dates
after February in any year divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400,
for example, March 1, 2100.  That problem was reported fixed in
COBOL II/iX A.04.09 and MPE/iX 5.0.

To the best of my recollection, that was the last known date-related
problem in COBOL II/iX.
