I don't *think* CEEENV or setenv will do dynamic allocation.

That might be a good reason to pick BPXWDYN.

Subject: Dynamic Allocation in COBOL

This might not be the right forum for this question, but...

Doing some very limited in initial research I've found three documented
methods of performing Dynamic Allocation in COBOL ( Enterprise COBOL 4.2),
BPXWDYN, CEEENV or setenv.

Q1) Are there any others?We already use a home grown assembler program for
dynamic allocation, but our direction is to move as much to the OS as
possible.
Q2) Is there any reason to pick one over the others?
