I can't tell you there never was one, but if you are saying there was one in the 21st century, then I refer you to this post you wrote in June of 2005:
" Tom, Suggest you create a SHARE requirement and submit it. Even then IBM COBOL won't do it. They have their heals dug so tightly in the mud on this one. OR even better somebody should write a MSG & Codes and sell it that would show IBM that it is needed. Ed" Here's the link: https://listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0506&L=IBM-MAIN&D=0&I=-&P=1197298 I would think that if there had been a COBOL M&C manual produced in the last ten years, someone other than you on this fine list would be able to confirm it.

Somewhere around 2005-7 there was a M&C I used to use it quite a bit in fact. AFAIR there was always a M&C for cobol (various versions and releases that go back to the 1960's) in fact I remember specifically in the mid-late 60's) using it to find out that the then current cobol did not support VBS. We had to back out a major change over to VBS on an online savings system. So do not tell me there never was one. I also remember the first ship COBOL program Product that did have a M&C as I had to make sure that it was distributed to all 200 programmers. I had to write a letter to IBM to ask permission to copy the fine manual. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
