  • 1.  Migration to COBOL V6

    Posted Thu January 05, 2017 03:26 AM

    Hello,

    we are planning migration to COBOL 6 from 4.2 next week. Currently running Cobol runtime and the build server on z/OS with the latest service applied and RBD V9+ clients. Any special considerations or suggestions about the migration and EGL generated programs ? (Already went through COBOL migration procedure/prereqs/pitfalls (all hopefully :-)))

    Generally I believe that COBOL generated from EGL should be less prone to different inconsistencies than hand written code - so I expect no problems with more restrictive coding rules brought by the new compiler. Is that so?

    Regards!

    The problem is resolved via PMR - compiler option SSRANGE was causing this - it is resolved after setting SSRANGE(ZLEN)  ( NOSSRANGE option would also do ...)
