RE: COBOL400 TO COBOL LE

You should have no trouble going from CBL to CBLLE if there are no GO TO's that 
branch to a prior paragraph name. A program that had code like the following 
compiled as COBOL/400 but failed to compile as ILE COBOL.

STEP-2.
    READ INPUT-FILE
        AT END
            GO TO STEP-3.
    IF  CUSTOMER-NAME = SPACES
        GO TO STEP-2.
    IF  EXPIRATION-DATE < TODAYS-DATE
        GO TO STEP-2.
    ...

Also, you will get a lot of warning errors if your I-O statements lack phrases 
like "INVALID KEY" where that would be an appropriate phrase. That may not be 
important to you; I prefer all my SEV's to be no higher than 0.

Cheers -- Jay

Subject: R: [COBOL400-L] COBOL400 TO COBOL LE

 1. Is there any tools availaible (Necessary?) to migrate COBOL/400 TO COBOL LE.
No tools are needed, at least to compile in ILE. Simply rename CBL to CBLLE and 
recompile

 2.Whether they are compatible,Please give me the diffrences between these two.
Too difficult to resume in a short mail.  Take a look at "ILE Concept" manual. 
Are you experienced in C or C++ ? A few concepts are common. 

 3.What  will be the migration startegy.
Minimal migration strategy is first to convert to CBLLE and recompile. In a 
near future you may try to introduce some ILE - tipical characteristics (date 
calculation, return-code, DLL, and so on...)

Oggetto: [COBOL400-L] COBOL400 TO COBOL LE


Hi All,
  I am a software professional working for an mnc in India.I have few doubts 
regarding 
COBOL LE ansd COBOL/400.
 1. Is there any tools availaible (Necessary?) to migrate COBOL/400 TO COBOL LE.
 2.Whether they are compatible,Please give me the diffrences between these two.
 3.What  will be the migration startegy.
 
It will be great to have answers for all the questions,Even if you know for the 
first two 
it will be fine.
 
Thanks a Lot and Really you people are doign good work
