Hi all,

We are converting some archaic programs written in OS/VS COBOL to Enterprise 
COBOL (only to v4 at present). One of the issues that we've hit, well 
documented in the migration guide, is that some programs have DCB information 
that differs to that used in the JCL. OS/VS COBOL overrides any JCL DCB 
information transparently, whereas Enterprise COBOL fails with an OPEN failure.

Whilst we can fix any failures as we go, questions are being asked whether we 
can perform any scanning across programs and JCL and datasets to identify the 
impact up front.

We can obviously write some REXX to scan various components, but has anyone 
already done anything like this that they are willing to share that would give 
us a head start?

Many thanks,

Andy Styles
