Currently we are working with IBM COBOL for OS/390 and VM 2.2.2.We are using DB2 V. 7 and CICS 2.2. I checked whether I need any code changes and figured out that no code changes are required for migration. I am aware that the old load modules would continue to work without any problems but I still have a question. How important/significant is it to compile all programs before I migrate to this new compiler version? Can somebody explain this to me?" >> To see Tom's response, click here: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid582857_tax296898,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=498258 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= REQUIREMENTS FOR MIGRATING TO ENTERPRISE COBOL | Advice A Search390.com user asked Tom Ross, our application development expert: "We are migrating from OS/390 to z/OS. Applications are currently running on VS-COBOL-II. The plan is to make all applications LE complaint on OS/390. Moving forward to z/OS, would it be required to migrate to Enterprise COBOL for any particular reason? Would there be any benefit from upgrading our applications to Enterprise COBOL?" >> See Tom's response by clicking here: http://www.search390.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid580875_tax285603,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=498258 ____________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= :::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= JCL FOR NEWBIES | Featured Topic Simply put, JCL is a language for describing jobs in the mainframe environment.

And when that opportunity knocked on eBay, an online casino was there to take a bite. GoldenPalace.com paid $28,000 for a 10-year-old, partially eaten cheese sandwich that supposedly bears the image of the Virgin Mary (it could also pass as a toasted, whole wheat Gwen Stefani, but try getting 28 grand for that). The woman who crafted the vestal Velveeta says she's kept it in a plastic case since 1994, and that it hasn't gotten moldy. No mold on a 10-year-old sandwich? Now that's a miracle! GoldenPalace.com is already selling Virgin Mary Grilled Cheese T-shirts and plans to use the sandwich to raise money for charity. As long as they don't use it to feed the hungry!
