From everything I've read, eject does the same thing as a forward slash in column 7.  It will take you to top of page.  This is useful when debugging your program so you can separate your COBOL paragraphs.  More noticeable if you print out your program.

The eject command is similar to the forward slash

In olden times when COBOL was a length and combersome language to master on, generally the entire program were printed using drum roller printer this type of printer were notorious for cutting the last line of the page, so to protect the last line of the page form cutting in half this method was used. and still being used now.
