There is a big
problem with the desire to advance versus the desire to continue to
use what already works. As an example, look at some of the posts in
IBM-MAIN about COBOL 5 requiring that the executable be in a PDSE and
impossible to run from a PDS.
What is generated by the COBOL 5 compiler that that requires the use of a PDS/E
to store the Program Object as opposed to placing it as a Load Module
in a PDS? If the requirement is about the compiler itself, what is
its structure that requires a PDS/E?
