VS COBOL II signature bytes
I've found the answer to my dilemma for compiler options from a COBOL load module. They call them signature bytes. So now I'm looking for a VS COBOL II V1.x programmer's guide, specifically the pages on signature bytes. I'd really appreciate a copy of that section; should be about 10 pages.

Re: VS COBOL II signature bytes
Chip http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/ select Bookshelf titles and filenames http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/find_shelves.html Enter COBOL without quotes in the box Find bookshelves with titles or filenames containing: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves? filter=COBOLSUBMIT=Find Select VS COBOL II R4 Bookshelf http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/IGYSH007 At this point I tried both VS COBOL II R4 Appl. Programming Guide for MVS and CMS and VS COBOL II R4 Appl. Programming Guide for VSE and entered signature without quotes in the torch field and got No search hits found for: signature But, having got s far, I wasn't going top give up so I looked for a likely alternative candidate manual and lighted on VS COBOL II R4 Installation and Customization for MVS Bingo! The sole hit was Compiler Options and Their Defaults, 4.2.3 Now you can either print that off or, better for the planet and all who inhabit it, just browse the page: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igyi1101/4.2.3 Chris Mason On Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:00:46 -0500, Chip Grantham cgrant...@ameritas.com wrote: I've found the answer to my dilemma for compiler options from a COBOL load module.

Re: VS COBOL II signature bytes
It's not what you know so much as knowing where to find it. But a bored and bitter person about whom there is speculation over employment who writes nothing worth reading, even tedious and vacuous, wouldn't be taking the trouble to help out to that extent now would they? No, they would just give an URL and not indicate how to find it from a common source, that would be far too much trouble. Be careful what you say, there just may be an opportunity to return it with interest - the Shylock syndrome! - From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Graham Hobbs Does this Mason have a job? I think he once posted that he's retired -- which for some seems to be a euphemism for bored and bitter. -jc- - nothing worth reading Indeed; lately, Mr. Mason has become a rather tedious vacuum. -jc- On Thu, 23 Jun 2011 13:46:41 -0500, Chase, John jch...@ussco.com wrote: ... http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/IGYSH007 -jc- -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
