    Compiling with the Db2® coprocessor from z/OS UNIX using the cob2 command

    DavidHT 0700000V0U | | Visits (212)

    Tweet
    When you're compiling a COBOL application containing embedded SQL statements using the Db2® coprocessor,  it is necessary to specify the location of a file that will hold the "database request module" (DBRM) generated during the compile operation.  This is typically done by allocating a partitioned dataset  to the DBRMLIB ddname in your JCL.   But what if you're interested in compiling the same application from z/OS UNIX using the cob2 command?  Up to now, there has been no way to specify the...

    Mixing copybooks from z/OS UNIX directories and partitioned datasets in a single compile job

    DavidHT 0700000V0U | | Visits (279)

    Tweet
    I would like to share some information about the new COPYLOC compiler option that is available in Enterprise COBOL 6.2 with the PTF for PI91584 installed (i.e., the January 2018 PTF), and should be available very soon in the 6.1 release.   The COPYLOC compiler option allows the COBOL compiler to access a mix of copybooks located in partitioned datasets and z/OS UNIX directories within a single compile job, regardless of how the compiler is invoked.  This feature may be of particular interest to users wanting to explore the popular Git...

    Should we still use COBOL?

    Tom.Ross 12000087AJ | | Comments (5) | Visits (2963)

    Tweet
    Should we continue to use COBOL?  Isn't it old and outdated?  Many people are saying that COBOL's time has passed, that we should convert applications to Java/Groovy/Swift/Node.js/'your name here', so are we making a mistake by staying with COBOL? These are common questions, and have been asked in different ways for over 30 years!  In this blog I will approach the topic of "Why COBOL" from several different angles.  First, some history...   I believe that COBOL was first declared DEAD in 1969,...

    COBOL Applications: Techniques to Make them Efficient

    This document describes why HW/SW synergy is important to get the maximum benefit of the latest hardware and describes keeping current with the latest compiler version as the way of doing that. The document recommends tips and techniques of performing hotspot analysis and to make the migration effort containable, recommends upgrading the compiler levels for the few most performance critical sections of application code, instead of entire application.   Document Authors: Kathy Walsh and Priyal H Shah.

    Why does a IWZ037I message occur when I run a COBOL program?

    BasilTK 060001VVJ7 | | Visits (1736)

    Tweet
    Message: IWZ037I The flow of control in program %1 proceeded beyond the last line of the program.  Control returned to the caller of program %1.  The message is issued by the compiler generated code when execution continues beyond the last COBOL source line.  The 'goback' and 'stop run' statements skip over this error message generation and go directly to the return-code setting and return logic.    This helps identify ill-formed batch programs that do not have proper 'goback' and...
