Find what compiler version was used to compile the program

ksk · Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2011 12:10 am

Hi,

We want to find out what compiler version was used to compile our COBOL programs. For example, we can compile COBOL programs with
VS COBOL, COBOL II etc...

We would like to find out which are compiled with VS COBOL and we want to compile all these with COBOL II compiler.

Is there any way to find out the compiler name we have compiled?

I appreciate your help.

You can see it from a compilation listing !

Do you mean, from a load or object library you want to look at previously compiled programs and see what compiler was used?

Thanks Enrico. We have load library for all the compiled COBOL programs. When I am seeing the load module of that particular program, I am not able see any word like VS COBOL or COBOL II.

Is this the right place to check or is there any other way to check?

Bill,

Yes, I want to check from Load Library to enquire which compiler was used to compile the program?

If this is not the right way can you suggest me how can we find?
