Yes, you can use PCAX or PCAL.

FYI, what does 'PCAL' mean ?
P - pre-process the COBOL source
C - convert the COBOL source into assembler
A - compile the assembler code into object code
L - link the object code to create an executable

Hint:
To see all the steps use the verbose ('-v') command line option.

The compiler options are basically user defined defaults, most of which 
can be overidden by the command line options.
