No; we installed it into MVST100 in the z/OS 1.7 CSI. > 2) Recently, you ordered z/OS 1.9, and Enterprise COBOL was > included in the z/OS 1.9 serverpac order. "Apparently". I say "apparently" only because I neither created the order nor performed the ServerPac installation, but observed post-installation the existence of a SIGYROOT filesystem. The ServerPac installer just yesterday revealed to me the existence of "the rest of" the xIGYxxxx libraries corresponding to those delivered with our original E.C. 3.4.0 CBPDO. > 3) You've now noticed the z/OS 1.9 serverpack included some > version of Enterprise COBOL.

That was my initial worry, and the impetus for starting this thread. Now that I'm aware that "the rest of" the xIGYxxxx libraries were delivered with the ServerPac (and are synchronized with the 1.9 CSI), my task is simplified to merely "swap out" the original COBOL and "swap in" the 1.9 copy. > b) Or, you can start to use the Enterprise COBOL which you > ordered with your z/OS 1.9 serverpac.

Hmmm...... We'll have to think about that. Its merit seems obvious. -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
