We are going to eventually install 2.1 in the future. Besides the OS we have to decide how handle the new COBOL 5.1 and it's dependencies towards Fault Analyzer, Debug Tool and other productivity tools. E g which version/release is required for a certain product to work with another product. And can we upgrade to the latest version of e g Fault Analyzer (that otherwise comes with 2.1) at our z/OS 1.13 and get it working ? As a way to take possible problems in advance of the install of 2.1.
With COBOL 5.1, AFAIK, comes also the requirement of the loadlibraries to be PDSE. Which we DON'T have today, neither in production or test systems. Do anyone have experiences of these (potential) problems ? Can you let me take part of them I would be grateful! I understand that some at this list have installed and run z/OS 2.1, but have you used COBOL or the other tools ?
