I am working on a paper discussing programmer productivity
and project control methods specifically for a business
application development environment.   Has anyone seen any
papers presenting studies that have tested any of the following:

1) Lines of code (LOC)/function point for a COBOL program
2) Number of hours/function point for a COBOL program
3) Comparison of languages - LOC/function point and
   number of hours/function point
4) Comparison across types of industry  - LOC/function point and
   number of hours/function point

I am aware of a couple of small studies done prior to 1987, such
as Albrecht and Gaffney(1983) but I am looking for something
more current.  Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
