You can ask questions at the COBOL Cafe: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/community/cafe/cobol.html Migration is really not too tough from VS COBOL II to Enterprise COBOL, the compilers are similar. For moving OS/VS COBOL programs to Enterprise many changes might be necessary, that is why IBM has a tool CCCA to do it automatically. There are other vendors with such tools as well. We have added every problem every encountered in COBOL migration into our COBOL Migration Guide, it is truly an excellent manual! http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/cobol/zos/library/ Cheers, TomR >> COBOL is the Language of the Future! << ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
