This
chapter describes the differences between the VS COBOL II language
and the Enterprise COBOL language.
The information in this chapter will also help you determine which VS COBOL II programs require
source modifications in order to compile with Enterprise COBOL.
For example, VS COBOL II programs
compiled with the CMPR2 option
require source modification because Enterprise COBOL no
longer supports the CMPR2/NOCMPR2 compiler option.
This chapter contains information on the following items that you will
need to consider when upgrading
VS COBOL II source
programs to
Enterprise COBOL:
- Determining which programs require upgrade before compiling with Enterprise COBOL
- Upgrading VS COBOL II programs
compiled with the CMPR2 compiler
option
- Three minor COBOL 85 Standard interpretation changes
- Change to ACCEPT statement from VS COBOL II, Release 3.0
- New reserved words
- Undocumented VS COBOL II extensions
