Taking an inventory of vendor tools, packages, and products

Before you can begin upgrading your source, you must know whether your vendor tools, packages, and products are designed to work with Enterprise COBOL. Verify:

• COBOL code generators generate 85 COBOL Standard programs that can be compiled with Enterprise COBOL.
• COBOL packages are written in 85 COBOL Standard language that can be compiled with Enterprise COBOL.
• Third-party tools such as debuggers and databases support Enterprise COBOL.
