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.

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.
