If you follow the link-edit requirements below,
Language Environment will
support ILC between the following combinations of COBOL and PL/I:
- VS COBOL II,
Version 1 Release 3 and later
- IBM COBOL
- Enterprise COBOL
- OS PL/I, Version 1 Release 5.1
- OS PL/I, Version 2
- PL/I for MVS & VM
- Enterprise PL/I
You must link-edit any existing, supported PL/I and COBOL ILC applications either
with the PL/I conversion
aids (APARs PN46223,PN69803,PN69804) while
running on OS PL/I, Version 2 Release 3, or with
Language Environment.
(For the PL/I conversion tool to work, you also must install the appropriate
USERMOD, COBOL service, and PL/I service. For details, see the
IBM PL/I
for MVS & VM Migration Guide.) You can use either method except
in the following cases, when you must link-edit with
Language Environment:
- When the application contains COBOL NORES programs
- When the application requires COBOL program-specific runtime options or
space tuning
- When the application contains PL/I programs that use SORT
- When the application uses the PL/I Shared Library
