What are the pros and cons of going to the new version of Enterprise COBOL?
Regards,
John K
Main benefits:
* compiler options can now be in a file instead
of in JCL or PROCESS statements (or in addition to)
* XML processing has improved functionality
(namespaces, attributes, encoding, parse on
record basis instead of document basis)
Cons:
Well, the compiler option SIVMRD is no longer supported
(simulate variable length RRDSs using KSDSs, or
something like that)
Kind regards,
