Probably not. You can not convert a VSE CIL (or a VSE phase) to a load-library (or a load-module), unless a miracle occurs :) It's as unlikely as re-creating an object deck from a COBOL load-module created by the MVS linkage-editor with the NE (not-editable) option. A VSE phase in a VSE CIL is the same as a not-editable load-module. If you lost the VSE source-code, send the phases (or load-modules) to http://www.source-recovery.com/ and they'll rebuild the COBOL code for VSE or MVS. > You will need to remove any STOP RUN from the COBOL source. Probably not. STOP RUN is just fine in 99% of the occurences, unless your programmers are really, and I mean really, bizarre . . . Since 1982, I converted over 100,000 COBOL modules from VSE to MVS, or for COBOL1 to COBOL2 or COBOL3 - I have a few ideas on this type of subject. -- Gilbert Saint-Flour GSF Software http://gsf-soft.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
