Db2 coprocessor conversion considerations
When you upgrade programs that use the Db2® precompiler to instead use the Db2 coprocessor, you need to be aware of differences in language elements and in code-page conversions.
Consider the following topics:
- Db2 coprocessor integration
- Language elements
- Code-page conversion
Starting with Db2 Version 8 you can no longer use the Db2 precompiler for OS/VS COBOL programs. In addition, you cannot mix OS/VS COBOL with Enterprise COBOL. Therefore, if a program needs to be changed, it must be upgraded to Enterprise COBOL.
