" 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.

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.

Greg:
When the first COBOL MVS and VM came out there was no M&C (this was
mid 1990's) .
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.
