Interview Question:
Is there any utility for Translate & compile COBOL-CICS Program ?
As per IBM Mainframe manual, Utility name mentioned as COBMCIC4.
Can we use this same Utility for Compiling COBOL-CICS Program?
I had this question in my mind, Please correct me.
Thanks,
Amol

Which manual refers to this? I don't think I've ever heard of COBMCIC4.
As of Enterprise COBOL 3.2 (I believe but don't quote me on the exact release), COBOL has a built in CICS translator so you do not need a utility to compile CICS COBOL programs, you can just use the standard COBOL compiler IGYCRCTL. |

These are not called "utilities".
They are called preprocessors (DB2), translators (CICS) and compilers (COBOL and other languages). |

There is a new open source option being developed which supports compiling EXEC CICS COBOL programs into source HLASM compatible
assembler source with labels and paragraph names which is then assembled into executable code. The zcobol compile is still in development but the upcoming release v1.5.01 supports translation and assembly of all 415 of the NIST COBOL 1985 test suite programs with MNOTE messages for those functions not yet supported. |

| What can I say? We're on 2.2 and cannot upgrade without paying a huge fee which the company doesn't want to do. So we know where that leaves me ... |
