One quibble. I am pretty certain the V5 "output files" need not be in PDS/E's.
However, yes, any executable programs built from V5 output will be binder program objects, and those can only live in a PDS/E or UNIX file. In other words, the resulting executable programs are not traditional load modules, but rather program objects, and will only exist in the context of a PDS/E or UNIX file.

There are many changes to the way this compiler runs. For one thing, the output files need to be PDS/E datasets for the compiler and Load libs. You cannot, as far as I know, copy a compiled COBOL V5 module to a PDS to run. It needs to be a PDS/E. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
