Well, looking at: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/CEEA8160/PREF ACE <quote> Restrictions: The following restrictions apply to z/OS.e(TM): * The following compilers are not licensed for use on z/OS.e: o COBOL o PL/I o FORTRAN * Execution of applications written in the following languages is not functionally supported on z/OS.e: o COBOL (except for precompiled COBOL DB2(r) stored procedures and other precompiled COBOL applications using the Language Environment preinitialization interface (CEEPIPI)) </quote> So, I guess it is indeed legit to do this. Now, what COBOL can run under "normal" LE, but not under CEEPIPI? That's the question! Also in: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/e0z2b161/1.11 <quote> Application programming: z/OS.e does not run the following types of applications: CICS, IMS, COBOL (with an exception), Fortran, and PL/I (with an exception). The COBOL exception is that precompiled COBOL DB2 stored procedures and other precompiled applications that use the Language Environment preinitialization interface (CEEPIPI) are supported. The PL/I exception is that precompiled PL/I applications are supported. These COBOL and PL/I applications could be compiled on a z/OS system, then run on a z/OS.e system. </quote> -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
