In our installation they are going to upgrade the DB2 version to 8. it seems it will support only'Enterprise COBOL Version 3 Release 2 or Release 3 (5655-G53),
IBM COBOL for OS/390 & VM Version 2 Release 2 (5648-A25)',But as far i see in ChangeMAN we use COBOL 370. Are we in the right path or we need to change any thing...? please guide me ASAP....

arshadh,

Can you share us the source of your statement? As far as I know the only Prerequisite for DB2 V8 is that you need to run DB2 on a zSeries processors with z/OS V1R3 operating system or later. I think you are fine with cobol 370.

My question is Will COBOL 370 go easy with DB2V8 ..? (as our internal document says Enterprise COBOL is needed)

What did Kolusu's last sentence say?

Have you checked with the author of your internal document to see where he sourced the information? Have you double-checked that by visiting the IBM DB2 and/or Cobol sites?

The migration plan was dropped because of funding issues in the project...Will get back to u all if i face such problem in future.

Thanks for your help...
