Burroughs which became the A series division of Unisys still will require recompilation of programs that use system facilities that are being upgraded. In the past, I believe they have required mass recompilation, sometimes because of underlying hardware change. This does give an incentive for making certain you have the correct source. IBM may also require this on the i series but someone more familiar with that environment may prove me wrong. On the other hand Unisys is still supporting COBOL 74, the equivalent of OS/VS COBOL more or less. VS COBOL II, release 4 and later are COBOL 85. > >When in doubt. >PANIC!! > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
