This reference presents the syntax of VS COBOL II statements and the rules for writing source programs that are to be compiled by the VS COBOL II compiler. It is meant to be used as a reference in conjunction with VS COBOL II Application Programming Guide for MVS and CMS or VS COBOL II Application Programming Guide for VSE.

This language reference manual is designed for the experienced COBOL programmer whose primary discipline is data processing and whose task is the development of applications.

This manual helps you to create VS COBOL II programs; analyze and modify existing COBOL programs; and compile, link-edit, and execute VS COBOL II programs under MVS or CMS.

The purpose of this manual is to help you:

*
Create VS COBOL II programs
*
Analyze and modify existing COBOL programs
*
Compile, link-edit, and execute VS COBOL II programs.

Information on structured programming is included, as well as descriptions of the features available with VS COBOL II.

This book is a reference for the programmer using the IBM PL/I compiler. It is not a tutorial, but is designed for the reader who already has a knowledge of the PL/I language and who requires reference information needed to write a program for an IBM PL/I compiler. It contains guidance information and general-use programming interfaces.

Because this book is a reference manual, it is not intended to be read from front to back, and terms can be used before they are defined. Terms are highlighted where they are defined in the book, and definitions are found in the glossary.

In this IBM Redbook, we first provide an introduction to both EJB and the way it has been implemented within the CICS architecture. Following this, we document how to set up and configure a CICS region to support enterprise beans, how to use the various new tools such as the Resource Manager for Enterprise Beans (RMEB), and how to deploy and test the product samples.

Welcome to IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS, IBM's latest host COBOL compiler!
