This was changed quite a few years ago, when customers realized that the LE release was tied to the OS release, and they were running with newer releases in development systems compared to production systems. It is now fully supported to compile and link with z/OS release X and run on z/OS release X-1 or X-2. http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/lang_environment/whatsnew/down.html Cheers, TomR >> COBOL is the Language of the Future! << ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
