to: comp.lang.cobol and others
In Doc's recent comp.lang.cobol post, he used "SEARCH" in the
description (but
not in his source code). This made me think that it was time for me to
send out
a reminder to IBM mainframe COBOL shops that IBM has "recently" (last
year or
so) gone back and forth in an attempt to
- fix a bug in their *previous* "SEARCH ALL" behavior
and
- to impact as few existing programs (especially those that don't get
recompiled) as possible
If you are (or may ever be) working with IBM mainframe COBOL, I suggest
you look
at (and/or distribute at your shop) the information at:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/IGY3MG32/5.4
NOTE WELL:
Changes/Maintenance to *EITHER* LE or COBOL may result in your
needing to
know about this.
