Upgrading VS COBOL II programs compiled with the CMPR2 compiler option

If your VS COBOL II source programs were compiled with the CMPR2 compiler option, you must convert them to NOCMPR2 programs in order to compile them with Enterprise COBOL. The CMPR2/NOCMPR2 compiler option is not supported in Enterprise COBOL. Enterprise COBOL programs behave as if NOCMPR2 was always in effect. For information about language differences between CMPR2 and NOCMPR2 (85 COBOL Standard), see Upgrading programs compiled with the CMPR2 compiler option.

For information about tools that will help with the CMPR2 to NOCMPR2 conversion, see Conversion tools for source programs.
