Hi, We have the KOMAND PACE product embedded in our SMF exits and would like to remove it. I have a couple of questions: 1) Is anyone familiar with the Komand product? We have no documentation on it, only what is in the source code. 2) Are there storage areas used by USI, UJV, and UTL

Mr. Metz has again betrayed his ignorance--or, perhaps better, naif understanding--of the PL/I language. An external controlled variable is independent of the block structure of the PL/.I procedures in which it is used; and their chief uses, explicit and under the covers, are just as anchors for

COBOL Programmers In Demand?

2015-01-18 Thread Aled Hughes
According to the UK's Daily Mail, COBOL programmers are commanding 'big money' especially some of the retired ones. I suspect some of the so-called salaries are contractor rated. £50,000 (about US $76K) works out at less than £200 a day. The actual going rate seems to be about £400 a day

Re: Compile COBOL Programs In 64 Bit.

2015-01-18 Thread Bernd Oppolzer
For me, this discussion rises the question, if there should be special techniques for 31-bit-software running below the bar to access storage areas above the bar. Because: the impact on existing software and compilers would be enormous, if all pointers would have to be enlarged to 8 bytes.

static NEVER means constant Maybe not to you. Maybe not to C or other LE-compliant languages now. I'd guess that if you went back far enough, static (at least in a reentrant module) means not intended ever to be changed. The fact that C does not apply that meaning, or PL/I for that matter
