Re: [OT] Heart Surgery
Been meaning to jump on the bandwagon here - I had two stents placed 2 years ago (LAD CFX). So far, so good. If you are at risk - smokers especially (my Dr. said 95% of his patients are smokers, as I was) you need a radiation stress test (or Thallium stress test). Painless but a tad time consuming do it now even if your insurance won't cover it. If it shows a blockage, then you go on to the cath lab... no big deal either. Painless. If you are lucky, you get a stent, if not, bypass. But at least you get it before it gets you. Do it now if you think you need to.

We have a very old CICS application which is written in HLASM and OS/VS COBOL 2.4. We want to convert the COBOL to Enterprise COBOL. We have having many problems due mainly to lack of knowledge about the code base. The programmer doing this is convinced that a/the major problem is that Enterprise COBOL links as AMODE(31). He wants to force the load module to AMODE(24). The only way that I can see to do this is via the AMODE(24) parm in the Binder. However, we use CA-Endevor for our program compiles and links. This means that we need a separate Endevor processor which invokes the binder with the AMODE(24) parm. Any ideas about another way to do this which would not require a new Endevor processor? I don't know a lot about Endevor, but I don't see a way to use the Binder's MODE command. And I don't know if this would be easier to implement in Endevor than the PARM. P.S. I am not as convinced as the programmer that the problems he is encountering are due to the AMODE. But he is insistant and has the political backing to force the issue.
