Hello, all, I seem to recall that it was documented and supported to port CICS/VS applications source code (written in BAL or COBOL or PL/I) from CICS/OS/VS to CICS/DOS/VS or vice versa, and then recompile the programs on the new target platform. I think this was true for both MACRO Level CICS as well as Command Level CICS applications.
What I want to know is whether the executable code statements generated by the MACRO level macros, or the source code generated by the Command Level Translator, was ever compatible between OS/VS and DOS/VS, or if there were differences between CICS/OS/VS and CICS/DOS/VS in this area. IIRC, the code generated by the OS/VS COBOL compiler was not identical to or compatible with that generated by DOS/VS COBOL. Same for PL/I. At the very least, they had vastly different runtime libraries. Can anyone clarify these issues or point to any relevant documentation or IBM manuals? Thanks in advance, Mark S.
