Hi Everyone,

We are planning to migrate VS Cobol-II to Enterprise Cobol and same time we are upgrading DB2 from version 7.1 to 8.1

We have both batch and online(CICS) programs in our system, please any one can guide me about this and what will be the impact of Cobol migration also do it will need any code changes?

If anybody have same experience then share with me.

Sorry for my english. I am from Brazil.
Have you finished your job? I had some experience with this kind of migration. I developed a tool (similar CCCA for IBM) that can help you to make the inventory and this tools can make the most of changes needs in your source code.
This tools make a sheet (excel) where you can see all changes that you need to do in your programs.
This tools can scan your source code since DOS/VS-LANGVL(1)(Cobol 68 Standard) until COBOL for MVS & VM NOCMPR2(Cobol 85 Standard).
Some conditions doesn’t check during compile process you can have problems during run the programs, example: Using ILBOABN0 to force an abend. You need to change call to CEE3ABD.
Thanks
