More Detail -
Old load modules can access DB2 if they have the supporting libraries to
run. Still in the manuals - still supported.
The interface to DB2 is a module called DSNHLI - It hasn't changed for
ages. Now what it does is load the real processing module from steplib,
joblib, or wherever

Our DBA's are, and I am getting this from them.
We are sizing the re-compile effort.

V8???
That's what we were told.
We have over 6,000 programmes and we re-compile about a third each year.
But, it's the same third.
We are sizing the re-compile/test effort.

REALLY
No program compiled under "older" COBOL is supported for RUNNING under DB2

IBM has told us no COBOL/VS, n
linking and running on V8. That's certainly upward compatibility, but it's
also something of a special case.

Yeah, I know there's a DB2 list.
Does anyone kno
yes - and it has always been that way. You do not have to recompile your
programs just because you have a new DB2 release nor do you have to relink
them. With V8, there is a suggestion that it is best to REBIND them, but
that is still not a requirement.
There are DB2 programs that have not been
Yeah, I know there's a DB2 list.
Does anyone know if it is legal and possible to pre-compile (separate or
integrated co-processor) a COBOL program under DB2 V7, and then bind and run
it under DB2 V8? (This is intended as a technology question, not a licensing
question. By "legal" I mean do the
