Ted,
We are having a similar issue with our z/OS R7 system because we DO have
OS/VS COBOL & VS/COBOL II
load modules running production applications that are expected to execute,
without change, on z/OS R7.
According to the "z/OS R7 Language Environment Run-Time Application
Migration Guide",
Section: 3.1 "Compatibility with previous run-time libraries":
With certain exceptions, Language Environment provides object and load
module compatibility for applications that are generated with the
following pre-Language Environment IBM language products. Load modules
that are created with these compilers and link-edited with their
associated run-time libraries run compatibly with Language Environment
without relinking. Also, object modules created with these compilers can
be linked and run with Language Environment without recompiling.
~ C/370 Versions 1 and 2
~ OS/VS COBOL Release 2
~ VS COBOL II Release 3 or later
~ OS PL/I Version 1 Release 3 (object modules), Version 1 Release 5.1
and Version 2, all releases (load modules)
~ VS FORTRAN Versions 1 and 2 (MVS only)
~ FORTRAN IV H Extended (MVS only)
~ FORTRAN IV G1 (MVS only)
During the issue we were having last week, IBM LE & COBOL Level 2 support
confirmed the above
information as being accurate for z/OS R7.
