I agree with Bill. We are currently in the process of going from z/OS V1.4 to V1.7. Our LE on V1.4 has not had maintenance for over 1 year. The Cobol Compiler is at 3.3.1. When we attempted to get the 3.4 Cobol compiler used, we ran into an issue with the SEARCH ALL function in Cobol. In V3.4 the compiler has changed to look for a new subroutine. Because the V1.4 system is so old, it the program fails with a missing COBOL module. But under the V1.7 system all is well.
We are going to continue to use the V3.3.1 Cobol Compiler under z/OS V1.7 until all of our systems are at V1.7. then we will work on converting the compiler from V3.3 to V3.4. This is only due to the fact we need to complete our operating system upgrade within the next 3 weeks or be delayed until after July of this year. Had our system been current under z/OS V1.4 there would not have been an issue.
