We try...in fact, I was wrong about RDz, and misled you. RDz supports completely COBOL V5, including the choice of XML parsers to use. >A migration was proposed to translate (using an IBM utility) an=20 >ISV=E2=80=99s code to COBOL (~NOV2013).

Can you tell me the IBM COBOL translation utility that was used? I can try to fix this...I know about CCCA, but that one IS updated for COBOL V5, I made sure of that.
