Hi,

We have a big project to convert all COBOL II programs to Enterprise COBOL.

The Steps will be to

1. Compile with Enterprise COBOL
2. If any Errors, Correct the Errors, Compile again
3. Test, correct errors if any and implement.

By your experience, can u let me know the basic Guidelines to look for on the Code changes to make before we compile with Enterprise COBOL, so that some basic Compile / Runtime errors can be avoided.

Thanks

arvibala,

Pick the version you are migrating to and read the manual which explains in detail about all the things you need to consider before migrating

One of our COBOL II Programs has CALL 'ABORT' statements. Is this a Run-Time Utility? Is this in compactibility with Enterprise COBOL? Pls throw more light on this?

Thanks,

Arvibala,

if you had searched the manual for "abort" in the migration guide you would have found this . Read this section carefully.
