Are you looking for 1.3  which I think was still COBOL 74 standard as
opposed to 1.4 which I think was the first to be the COBOL 85
standard?  There were some noticeable changes in syntax and
interpretation between the two standards.

I believe the original poster mentioned z/VM (CMS). The latest COBOL 
compiler for z/VM is COBOL for VM, IBM Program No. 5698-A25. This compiler 
is still available for licensing and fully IBM supported.

I have a client with an existing old z/OS V1.4 system that has COBOL-II at 
version 1.4 (5668-958), but the other person was correct that most programs 
will compile under the current versions of COBOL.

I believe that the IDR data will show 5740-CB1 or 5740-CB2 for those compilers.

Well, there never was a product called OS/VS COBOL II.  There was
 OS/VS COBOL (last release V1.2.4, never a release 3) and there was
a VS COBOL II V1.3 (several mod levels, 1.3.0 (1988) 1.3.1 (1989) and
1.3.2(1990).  So, first step is to find out what COBOL you are really after!

FYI, VS COBOL II code will compile cleanly with COBOL V6 (as long as it was
compiled with NOCMPR2 under VS COBOL II)

Cheers,

Guys,
I am planning to revival an old application written in OSVS Cobol II v1.3 (it's 
important the correct release) for VMSP rel5 in my P370... Unfortunately my 
cobol mdisk has some crc errors, I can't read it and there is no backup... 
:(Anyone has this compiler available? There is no comercial focus... 
ThanksDan
