Endevor compatibility with Enterprise COBOL V5 and V6

Products

• Endevor

Issue/Introduction

Running Endevor and plan to migrate from COBOL 4  to COBOL 6 

Are there any Endevor PTFs required to support the new Enterprise COBOL V6?

Environment

 All supported versions of Endevor

COBOL V5 or COBOL V6

Resolution

There are no PTFs required by Endevor to support Enterprise COBOL V5 or V6.

Depending on the release of Enterprise COBOL currently being used, consideration may need to be given to some of the following points, documented in the IBM "Enterprise COBOL 6.3 Migration Guide" 
- The compiler produces program objects which need to reside in PDS/E while old compilers produced load modules that could reside in PDS
- At some release, the number of compiler work files increased
- Latest releases of enterprise COBOL tend to be very storage-consuming.
