Issue/Introduction

Are there any compatibility issues with CA Easytrieve Plus release 6.4 and COBOL 5.2 ?

Environment

CA Easytrieve Plus release 6.4 0311 and COBOL release 5.2

Resolution

There are no ptfs required for CA Easytrieve Plus release 6.4 specifically for COBOL 5.2. 

Starting with COBOL 5.1, we have PTF RO81061 to resolve a problem calling COBOL 5.n subprograms.  

For the CBLCNVRT feature, RO84144 and RO86314 are required for COBOL 5.n compatibility. 

 

Additional Information

Please note: RO85217 CBLCNVRT  COBOL  PARAMETER  TO  SUPPORT  COBOL V5.X has been superseded by RO86314, so RO85217 does not need to be received and applied.
