Note 3188 asked "Is there anything suspect with OpenVMS 7.1 and Cobol
5.4". My question: Is there anything suspect with Alpha OpenVMS 7.1 and
Cobol 2.4?
A large Denver customer claims that CSC says that "OpenVMS 7.1 has
architecturally "broken" the Cobol Compiler and RTL." My customer
(different from the one saying there is a problem) needs to go to 7.1
for a variety of interconnecting reasons and the applications are
written in COBOL.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

| 3232.2 | Alpha OVMS V7.1 and DEC COBOL V2.4 (or 2.3) | TEAMLK::HERMAN | Thu Apr 24 1997 18:08 | 9 | |
I also have a call from a customer asking about DEC COBOL V2.4 support
for OVMS V7.1 on Alpha. The customer needs to run OVMS V7.1 due to a
requirement from Oracle. They tried to install it and the installation
aborted during the IVP. They are now asking if DEC COBOL V2.3 can
run on OVMS V7.1. Any insite would be appreciated.
Thanks
