Mmmm - I don't think I've ever been in a Cobol debate, and I sure as hell wouldn't challenge Bill, but this needs comment. Are you aware of how many bloody migration guides are lined up for a decent upgrade ???. After the install I generally do any IVPs, but this sort of problem is unlikely to be picked up till we get to Devl. Even if it was in the mig guide for Cobol (or would that be LE, or CICS, or Endeavor as it builds all the JCL for compiles/pre-precessors, or ...), it would probably be missed by the likes of me.
