Ted, you might want to point your senior DBA guy at ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/db2storedprocedure/db2zos390/techdocs/Z0 1.pdf (watch the wrap)
This is a presentation by Fiona Gleeson, Director, DB2 UDB for z/OS Silicon Valley Lab at the DB2 Information Management Technical Conference called "Announcing DB2 UDB for z/OS Version 8." On page 36 it says Migrate to IBM COBOL V2.2 or V3.2 - No OS/VS COBOL or VS COBOL II compiles - Run Old COBOL modules The old COBOL compilers (OS/VS COBOL & VS COBOL II) will not be able to be used with the precompiler. Migrate to current IBM COBOL compilers. Old COBOL load modules continue to run under LE. I thank N.F. who e-mailed me privately with this information.

Is that what you meant? I meant you have to be at Enterprise COBOL V3.3 or higher. I am not leading the conversion. Our DBA's are, and I am getting this from them. We are sizing the re-compile effort. The senior DBA is highly skilled. I have no reason to distrust his statements. Maybe I should dig a little? - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
