Graham,
The issue is not which version of RDz but rather which version of
Windows. Even with RDz 7.6 the COBOL compiler would not install on
Windows 7. IBM has not made, plus as I understand it, a COBOL compiler
which works on Windows 7. I am in the same position, but do have a
System z to connect to as a test platform.
I too wish I could test locally on Windows 7.
Cheers,
Thomas Dunlap

Hello,
I have an old XP laptop with RDz 7.1.1.5 and TXSeries 7.1.0.4 and moved to a
new Lenovo with Windows 7. There is no need for host connection, my development
world is as a standalone, compile/link/run COBOL programs and COBOL/CICS
transaction programs on the Lenovo is the critical need.
But I understand that Rational Developer for System z V8.5 does not 'do' COBOL
on Windows 7 so am thinking my new world should be Rational Developer for
zEnterprise V8.0.3 and would appreciate any comments/advice about that.
