>XMLSS actually broke one of our application's programs. They had to >re-compile to change it to COMPAT for that program to make the >application work properly. Also, in COBOL 3.4, we used to specify >TEST=(NONE,NOSYM). There is no equivalent in 4.1 other than to specify >TEST=NO. Anything else, you get the full debug symbol table buried in >your load module, bloating it severely.
1) XMLPARSE(XMLSS) is not compatible with XMLSS(COMPAT), as described in the COBOL Migration GUide. They are 2 completely different parsers! The changes are minor, but must be looked at when migrating from XMLPARSE(COMPAT) to XMLPARSE(XMLSS). 2) TEST(NONE,NOSYM) is a strange option to use, you get very little debugging and no formatted CEEDUMP. It gives you overhead with no benefit. You can get full debugging functionality, formatted dumps and small object programs in V3 with TEST(NONE,SYM,SEPARATE) and in V4 with TEST(NOHOOK,SEPARATE). This change is also described in the COBOL Migration Guide. There is very little to change between V3 and V4, basically just those two things, if you would taken a few minutes to check the book...
