Hello Team,
I would like to have some basic inputs if there are COBOL compiler changes are supposed to happen then what all things required to be kept in mind?
Also, I know this is very generic question but sooner I will get the specific question I will update here but in any reference doc. related to this is available then it would be a great help. |

| The COBOL Language Reference manual has, near the front, a section called Summary of Changes that will identify what changed between the last release of the compiler (or the previous compiler) and the release covered by the manual. |

why not start Yourself by reading the cobol manuals
and do a bit of researching on Your own
from Robert Sample post ( in case You did not read it )

Any given link might be useless until you post which compiler you are going FROM and which compiler you are going TO. |

Hi Enrico,
Because the knowledge of where "stuff" or how to find it has not yet been learned . . .
It is easy to forget that what we (you and i and several others) have accumulated this knowledge over decades. . .
