So?? LE is no longer a "program product"; it's an integral part of
z/OS.
Besides, LE doesn't compile anything.
I wasn't just talking about compiling I was talking about linking and
run time issues as well.
I guess I wasn't explaining fully (or if I did it was in an early
entry) that I have found LE modules in a production library. Since
everyone has read access to the coblib (for the linkage editor) its
hard to put a stop to it.
Someone (sorry for got his name) said that with the new releases of
the cobol compiler modules are no longer statically linked. I would
guess though unless the binder execution specifies NCAL that syslib
is still opened and there for read access has to be given. Even if
you would take the coblib out of the concatenation the "other" user
procs would have to be updated and that is no small feat when you
have 500++ programmers scattered across several times zones. We were
just barely able to talk to the local progs. Politics.
