Chapter 23. Compiling and converting old
COBOL code with Debug Tool
Utilities
This chapter discusses the COBOL conversion and compilation functionality that is available
with the Debug Tool Utilities and Advanced Functions. This facility allows you to convert and
compile older COBOL programs such as:
Programs written for the OS/VS COBOL compiler (68/74 Standard COBOL).
Programs written for the VS COBOL II (or later) compiler that was last compiled with the
CMPR2 compiler option (74/85 Standard).
The conversion uses the COBOL and CICS Command Level Conversion Aid (CCCA) to
perform the conversion, and creates code that is suitable for compiling with:
5648-G53 ENTERPRISE COBOL for z/OS
5648-A25 COBOL for OS/390 and VM
After compilation, you can debug your converted old COBOL source code with the Debug
Tool using the object module created from the newer compiler.
