Back when I had to write a COBOL program with a screen interface (hack, gag)
I used a package that made the screen handling very painless.  It has a screen
editor, then you define fields, field attributes, etc. etc.  It's called
ScreenIO, and is specifically made to run with Realia COBOL.  Check your
Realia documents, I seem to remember that they even included a mention about
this product.
