Associated with  COBOL

This session will dive into solutions so your already compiled COBOL code can finally leverage new capabilities introduced to the IBM Z family over the last few decades, all the way to today's z15. 

The latest IBM Z technology to improve COBOL performance is not accessible by COBOL 4.2 and earlier modules, wasting precious CPU cycles and money. 

This session will cover: 

  • The latest advances we've made in COBOL optimization to maximize the benefits from the IBM Z systems you already have
  • Introduce new capabilities to let you easily identify and optimize what you have now
  • Detail how to quickly test and deploy the optimized code, giving you the peace of mind to move forward
