Keep Endevor Elements compiled with old version of cobol and allow the new elements to compile with Cobol 6.4

Products

• Endevor

Issue/Introduction

Upgrading from Cobol 4.2 to Cobol 6.4 - is there a way in Endevor to continue to compile the "old" with COBOL 4.2  after upgrading  COBOL 6.4 

Environment

Release : All

 

Resolution

This can be accomplished by creating a new generate, move and delete processors that point to the Cobol 6.x libraries, create a new processor group for  Cobol 6.4, and then update the Type COBOL with the new processor group. 

What is expected is: 

• The old elements will still use the old processor group with the older version of cobol (for example 4.2) because of the information that is stored in the Elements MCF record
• The new elements will compile with the NEW processors defined in the new processor group created for Cobol 6.4
