RE: [WDSCI-L] RE: How to update COBOL outline

[Kelly Cookson <KCookson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our managers have decided to adopt WDSCi (which I expected)...and this has
apparently encouraged them to move toward COBOL ILE too (which I didn't
expect).   We start training for ILE this year.

This is one time I don't mind eating crow! :)

 >> But can't there be error handling issues when simply converting to ILE?
i.e., At times errors could go by unnoticed that used to cause an inquiry
message?

For sure this is an issue with RPG, but I don't recall seeing it with COBOL.
In RPG it happens when you specify an error indicator on a CALL but then
don't do anything with it.  The compiler assumes that you have decided to
handle any errors yourself and so will not bring up the usual green screen
of death.

I've only seen problems with COBOL when mixing a lot of OPM COBOL with ILE
COBOL.
