Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

Thanks Robert for your reply. Is there a suggestion so that we can start looking at to make COBOL 6.2 better? Are there some ways to do it? Have you visited the COBOL Migration Portal? I think you'll find a lot of useful info (i took a quick peek and there's a COBOL 6.2 Performance Tuning Guide pos...

Thanks Robert. But I don't recall that we observed them with COBOL 4.2. I was looking for a document which can tell what was not considered as warning in COBOL 4.2 but is considered in COBOL 6.2 but I did not find. Have you tried the COBOL Migration Portal https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecente...

Check out the COBOL Migration Portal. It is an invaluable resource to help clients on their decision and journey to migrate their COBOL applications:

Hi, We are changing our COBOL compiler to COBOL 6.2. We were on COBOL 4.2. The path we are following is that we compile one program by one program. Now many times when a program we pick up from baseline to for new development, it's touch to know whether the program was installed with COBOl 6.2 or 4...

Is not COBOL 4.2 already out of support? No, it is not. End of Service is currently planned for end of April, 2022.
