Endevor report or any utility that will show the Cobol version.

Issue/Introduction

Does Endevor have a report or any utility that shows the Cobol compile version? We could get the cobol version information from the listings but there are many elements, it's very difficult to do LL and read all of them. Also, some listings are not saved.

Resolution

Endevor doesn't have a report or utility that shows the Cobol version. However, there are other utilities that report this information. You could run them against a loadlib and find the specific information you seek.

IBM's AMBLIST -

Example:
                                         
//AMBLIST  EXEC PGM=AMBLIST                                  
//MYDDNAME  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.LOADLIB  
//SYSIN     DD *                           <AMREPORT FORMAT  
  LISTIDR  OUTPUT=MODLIST,DDN=MYDDNAME                       
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*                                      

This displays the following output showing the CSECT for member SAMPLE01, with translator 5655EC6 designating Enterprise Cobol V6 and the cobol version 06 02, and compile date 12/18/2023  (see Additional Information below for a guide to Cobol version translators)
