Jon,
I have thought about it many times but not sure the effort would be
worth the return. We have a large purchased package of programs that has
its own set of date routines that does every type of calculation
imaginable. We don't often write new programs, just enhance and maintain. I
have programmed in MVS world with Cobol for MVS or whatever the new name is
and found the functions very useful. Have you ever dealt with a mixed set
of programs ...ie ILE calling OPM and/or OPM calling ILE. Back in MVS days,
it was kind of Iffy sometimes having a mixed bag and even worse when
relying on inexperience programmers doing compiles. So I am a little gun
shy to go partial ILE. Any comments?

It really should be - the ILE compiler is light years ahead of its
predecessor being based on the ANSI '85 standard. So it has full
scope delimiting, functions, full date data type handling and a whole
bunch more. Just a better product all round.
