I was looking for even older information and I found a note about 1972 5734-CB2 ANS COBOL Version 4 but your list fills in some more history! I wish I could find dates, but those products are not in our IBM databases anywmore ... I googled 5734-CB1 and found an IBM book with this in the title: IBM OS Full American National Standard COBOL.: Program Numbers: Version 2, 360S-CB-545; Version 3, 5734-CB1; Version 4, 5734-CB2 (compiler and Library) 5734-LM2 (library Only). So, that fills in some more: 360S-CB-545 COBOL is ANS COBOL V2 5734-CB1 is ANS COBOL V3 5734-CB2 is ANS COBOL V4 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
