IBM would like to acknowledge the assistance of the GUIDE COBOL Migration Task Force in the preparation of the OS/VS COBOL to VS COBOL II Migration Guide. The task force provided ideas, experience-derived information, and perceptive comments on the subject of OS/VS COBOL to VS COBOL II conversion.
The information received from this previous conversion experience, as well as input from many experienced OS/VS COBOL and VS COBOL II IBM customers, aided in the development of this Compiler and Runtime Migration Guide. Without such assistance, this book would have been much more difficult to develop.
