Changes in millennium language extensions in IBM® Enterprise COBOL for z/OS®, Version 5 and Version 6

The Millennium Language Extensions are no longer supported.

The elements that have been removed are:
  • DATE FORMAT clause

These language elements must be removed in order to compile with Enterprise COBOL Version 5 or Version 6.
