It's common practice for us to have at least two service levels in play at the same time. One for the 'next big thing' and one for 'keep the lights on' in the current production release. Having distinct static service environments means that nothing gets in anyone else's way. Either can be clone

I had the same question. Like maybe the JCL containing the ancient compiler name was pulled from the same archive as the source. But others have pointed out that hex literals were not allowed in the OS/VS compiler, so this particular combination of source and JCL could never have worked. . . .

All of the recent COBOLs starting I think with COBOL for OS/390 have had an entry point of IGYCRCTL. IKFCBL00 is the entry point for VS COBOL I, often called CB1. The IBM program number is 5740-CB1. It is a pre-LE product. Compilers between CB1 and OS/390 *might* have also used IKFCBL00. If som
