Hi Everyone!
Just a bit of information for you all on this Tuesday regarding the CA Easytrieve Product and COBOL 5.1:
We have no reported problems and no compatibility issues.
However, there are some considerations for the JCL using the COBOL 5.1 compiler:
1. Work files SYSUT1 thru SYSUT15 are required.
2. SYSMDECK DDname is required, either as temporary data set (LRECL=80) when
NOMDECK compiler option is active or as a pre-allocated data set if the MDECK option is specified.
3. The RES compiler option is no longer supported.
4. The target load library into which the COBOL program is to be linked MUST be a PDS/E data set.
I hope that this is helpful to you all, and I wish for you a wonderful Tuesday!
Thanks and Best Regards!
