Another good suggestion. Will do some investigating, so thanks Thomas
and Barry.

Ruminating only: being smallfry, what use then is RDz/TXSeries if a
mainframe is a must.

Graham,
I believe RDz 7.6 does include the COBOL compiler, even 8.0 does. You
just have to install and run on XP Pro. I have not tried what Barry
mentions, running XP compatible virtual process under Windows 7. I
have a co-worker that used it for awhile with mixed results, some
things worked and some did not.
How about a laptop with dual boot, both XP Pro and Windows 7.
Cheers,
Thomas Dunlap

Thomas, Barry,
Sorry to bother you again. Any chance you think/know that RDz 7.6
would run under XP virtual machine? If I downloaded/installed 7.6
(from SAC) do you think IBM may have removed the COBOL compiler?
Cheers,
Graham

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.
