Issue/Introduction
One of our customer is planning to apply the preventive maintenance IBM PTF/APAR. They queried us as there are possibilities that some PTFs will affect programs written in C language and COBOL.
We are going to apply IBM APAR PI36683 (PTF: UI36153, UI38933) which has information about Enterprise for COBOL V 5.1 and XML - CODE for preventive maintenance and want to know that :
- Is this product coded in C language or Enterprise for COBOL V 5.1?
- Does this product use XML - CODE?
Environment
z/OS v2.1
Resolution
For the most part they all use assembler followed by C, Metal C and some JAVA. No COBOL. Also, it doesn't use XML-CODE internally.
