  • 1.  COBOL 4.2 compile on z/OS 2.2

    Posted Mon February 27, 2017 08:48 AM

    Hi,

     

    We have a set of COBOL programs, which were compiled on the source system using IBM Enterprise COBOL 4.2, on z/OS 2.01 Mainframe.

    On the target side, we have COBOL 5.2 installed, and the z/OS version is 2.2.

     

    What are the pre-requisites for us to do a compile using COBOL 4.2 on the target? Is copying the COBOL 4.2 runtime libraries sufficient to do this compile, or is there anything else required?

     

    Thanks,

    Anitha.

    I guess to be accurate you have to ask about the licences at your site.

    If V5.2 doesn't exist on your 2.2 machine, it will need to be installed, rather than just copied, and installed in the same way as on the 2.1 (you mean 2.1?).

    I'm not sure I understand.  You want to compile using 4.2 on the source system and run the result on the target system?

    If so, install the latest LE PTFs on the target system.  LE contains COBOL run times for both V4 and V5/6.  And I don't think you should ever just copy a run time from on system to another,
