Issue/Introduction

With the migration to Enterprise Cobol there is a requirement to convert PDS Load Libraries to PDSE Load Libraries. Does Endevor have any utilities that can be used? 

 

Environment

Release:  All Supported Releases

 

Resolution

Enterprise Cobol V5 and Higher creates Program Objects that can only resided in PDSE.  If using PDS load libraries, start moving to PDSE load libraries before upgrading to Enterprise Cobol.

Endevor requires that the utility BSTXCOPY is used to copy from PDS to PDSE to ensure that Endevor Footprints do not get corrupted. For more information on BSTXCOPY, review Knowledge document.
