Tags: Proceedings, 2019, SHARE Pittsburgh 2019

New and improved IBM recommendations and tools for migrating to Enterprise COBOL V5 and COBOL V6 will be discussed!
The new COBOL compiler offers many features for programmers and applications managers, but it also takes some work to get to use it. In this session, the speaker will tell you everything you need to know to get up and running with Enterprise COBOL V5 and V6. We will talk about what has changed, what is better, and what you will have to change in order to use the new compiler. There may be source code changes, there may be input data changes, or you may use new options to tolerate invalid COBOL data. Compiler options have changed, some behaviors have changed, some new restrictions have been added, and performance has changed, come and hear all about it!-Tom M. Ross-IBM Corporation
