I don't understand what programmers don't like about COBOL V5/V6. Do you have any concrete examples? Just wondering. I like the new compiler releases. The NUMCHECK option, when used in development, looks to be very interesting and useful. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
