Rational Developer for System z
Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, Version 4.1, Compiler and Runtime Migration Guide


SOM-based object-oriented COBOL not available

Enterprise COBOL does not support SOM-based OO COBOL; however, Enterprise COBOL provides OO syntax to facilitate the interoperation of COBOL and Java programs. The removal of SOM-based OO COBOL from Enterprise COBOL includes the removal of the compiler options TYPECHK and IDLGEN because they require SOM-based OO COBOL to run. Applications utilizing SOM-based OO COBOL must be redesigned to upgrade to Java-based OO COBOL syntax or redesigned as procedural (non-OO) COBOL.
