Tech Tip: Is COBOL 5.x compatible with CA Easytrieve? 

Sep 08, 2015 05:38 PM

Hi Everyone!

 

I hope that your Tuesday is going well!

 

We have had quite an interest in confirming if CA Easytrieve releases 6.4 and 11.6 are compatible with COBOL 5.2.

 

The answer is a definite "YES".

 

PTF RO84144 (for release 6.4) and PTF RO82431 (for release 11.6) are now available for you under Support ONline.

 

Once the PTF has been received and applied, you will notice three more macro members in your CA Easytrieve CAIMAC (6.4) or CBAAMAC (11.6):

CBLDI521

CBLII521

CBLS1521

 

At this time, you may then use the Cobol Convert COBOL PARM with a choice included now for the value of 'I521' when invoking CBLCNVERT from a CA Easytrieve program:

 

%CBLCNVRT infile (NUMDEF number) (QUOTE option) (SYSTEM {OS|DOS}) +

   |      (COBOL {VS|II|II12|II13|I122|I212|I341|I521}) (WANTSC {NO|YES}) +

   |      (ABS {NO|YES}) (COMPRESS {NO|YES}) (GENMAC {NO|YES}) +

   |      (UID identifier)

 

Please have a wonderful Tuesday and do not hesitate to let me know anytime you may have a question or concern.

 

Thanks and Best Regards!
