RE: COBOL ILE

["Ray Harris" <rharris@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are three main issues in converting OPM->ILE Cobol:

    Recursive calls:  ILE Cobol will not allow the same program object two places in the call stack.

    Next Sentence:  Does not work the same in ILE--in OPM it worked like Continue, under ILE it skips past next period. (ILE is right)

    Activation groups:  Crossing boundaries between ILE/OPM can be inefficient--we converted all CLP to CLLE to address this.

Hello, Rick.

You are obviously in a situation just like a lot of us old 'OPM'ers'.  We know that ILE exists, and we recognize the advantages,  but how the h... shall we get started??  If anybody out there have good ideas, adresses to useful web-sites etc. I would greatly appreceate it.

Hello All,
               I'm trying to find out more information on COBOL ILE on the AS/400.  I'm  not new to AS/400 COBOL but very new to ILE and some of the concepts. (Binding  directories, Service Programs, etc)  I have a project that is coming up and  I would love to do it in ILE but I need to get a comfort level with it  first.  I don't want to just write OPM's and then make them ILE I don't  believe you get as much bang for the buck that way.  I would really  appreciate any suggestions!! 
 
Thanks in advance
