The senior DBA is highly skilled.
I have no reason to distrust his statements.
Maybe I should dig a little?
Question everything. Especially if it sounds illogical.

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
My experience with DB2 prior to V8 was that is was downward compatible, as
long as the load libraries used to establish the thread were at the highest
level you were wanting to connect to. Can't use Vn libraries to connect to
a Vn+1 DB2, but can use Vn+1 to create a thread on a Vn DB2. V8 has
compatibility, but it's
also something of a special case.

Yes the generated code (mostly the generated plist)
has version identifiers in it and as far as I know, IBM will take an apar if
the program doesn't work.

No program compiled under older COBOL is supported for RUNNING under DB2
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.

Too busy driving to stop for gas!
Ted, the **pre-compiler** appears to not support preparing source code for
old COBOLs. Is that what you meant?
I meant you have to be at Enterprise COBOL V3.3 or higher.
I am not leading the conversion.
Our DBA's are, and I am getting this from them.

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
