Customizing Enterprise COBOL

The following sections describe the supplied user jobs and modules that you can modify to customize Enterprise COBOL.

You can make modifications to Enterprise COBOL only after installation of the product is complete.

One of the modifications is made using an SMP/E USERMOD. If you do not ACCEPT Enterprise COBOL into the distribution libraries before applying the USERMOD, you will not be able to use the SMP/E RESTORE statement to remove your USERMOD. Do not accept your USERMOD into the distribution libraries. You might want to remove your USERMOD if you find that it does not suit the needs of the programmers at your site.

You will have to remove your USERMOD before applying service to the modules that it changes. In this case, you will probably want to reapply your USERMOD after successful installation of the service.

Important: Make sure that Enterprise COBOL serves the needs of the application programmers at your site. Confer with them while you plan the customization of Enterprise COBOL. Doing so will ensure that the modifications you make at install time best support the application programs being developed at your site.

All information for installing Enterprise COBOL is included in the Program Directory provided with the product.
