If your shop uses an IBM z series computer and it is looking to upgrade to version 5.1 of Enterprise COBOL and it is using Cross System Product (CSP) or its Visual Gen successor, migration may be a problem. CSP and possibly its successor forced an F zone on all signed fields with positive values leaving the D zone for negative fields. The elimination of NUMPROC(MIG) means this behavior if still existing can cause problems.
Other program generators may also have this CSP peculiarity. Clark Morris ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
