[CAUTION: This Email is from outside the Organization. Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] Greetings! Does anyone know if there are people/applications using checkpoint/restart in COBOL applications? The doc only shows it is usable in programs that use SORT, I have not heard of customers doing this in years, but someone in IBMMAIN would know better than me! The reason for the question is that IBM is considering removing that capability from z/OS and we are wondering how much of an impact, if any, this would be on COBOL applications? (Actually PL/I also, but I work in COBOL so kind of focused on that :-) 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 ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
