Vendor Name: IBM

Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)OBJECT-code compaitibility

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

With the advent of LE even code in languages like PLI or COBOL can be written and tested in VSE and then be linked in MVS and executed. This is no longer the case with the restrictions as mentioned in CICS migration/guide Paragraph 5.1.2 page 115/116

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) High

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) Next Release

Requirement Type: (Select one: Acceptability - Compatibility/Migration - Ease of Use - Feature/Function - Performance - Reliability/Availability/Serviceability - Packaging - Interoperability)

Compatibility

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others? Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

There is no point in producing LE (to have object code compatibility) and then torpedoing it with CICS.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

Regain full compatibility for the common functions (like ASSGN PROGRAM or NEXTTRANSID)

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

Have to retranslate (and in the sequence recompile) programs on both platforms
