Both of your statements are correct.
Not only that, but you also need PTFs for four LE APARs and three Binder AP=
ARs.
But you can INSTALL COBOL 5.1 on z/OS 1.12 (according to the Program Direct=
ory). Go figure....
This confused me too, but it was explained to me that you can use z/OS 1.12
to install COBOL V5.1 on a z/OS 1.13 or later target system. Something about
SMP/E that required that we support that, it was beyond me :-)
All this means is that z/OS V1.12 includes the necessary levels of
utilities (such as SMP/E, IEBCOPY, and the Binder) needed to install
COBOL 5.1. It's not terribly unusual for the "driving system," or
installation product level, requirements to be lower than the levels
required to actually *run* a product.
