Hi,
Are there tools in which an automated retrofit is allowed? As far as I know it is usually done manually.

Re: Automation of SDLC process.
In traditional ways like using mainframes, it does not allow multiple updates...or you are saying it might?Either your group needs to not allow multiple updates to the same program to be happening simultaneously, or the group needs to develop some standard processes for handling such issues.

Re: Automation of SDLC process.
Can you name of some of them? Or give an idea to search on a term in google, my search did not gave me desired results.There are some tools on the market for source code management that allow multiple update branches, but they tend to be pretty costly if you don't already own one of them.

Re: COBOL quality check on mainframes, any tool?
Quality in code is a very broad topic, anyway -- programming styles differ and hence what one person writes in 2000 lines of COBOL may take someone else 3000 lines of COBOL. Yet both programs produce the same result on the same input data, and the 3000-line program is structured such that it is ea...

Re: COBOL quality check on mainframes, any tool?
I use the source indentation as a quality check on the programmer(s) that wrote the code. If the indentation is sloppy (some 4, some 3, some 9 columns for example) then I expect the code to be sloppy as well and check it MUCH more closely than I otherwise would. Can such things be taken care in mo...

Automation of SDLC process.
Hi, We use Changeman for change control. For any new change-request, we'll identify the COBOL programs impacted and then check-them out in a changeman package. In case there any other parallel requirement which also involves some of the components from requirement one, it becomes a tough process to ...

Re: COBOL quality check on mainframes, any tool?
Thanks for all the replies.
So basically a programmer has to it all manually and no such automated tool is available.

Yes I mean ISPF editor. But we manually align in ISPF or have I missed some functionality of it?

Re: How to know operating system name and version in use?
1. Not a TSO command, but if you go into ISPF option 7.3 and press DOWN a couple of times will get you to the variable ZOS390RL. The contents of ZOS390RL will be what you need. 2. ISPVCALL: Written by the great Doug Nadel, ISPVCALL provides many interesting details about a TSO/ISPF session, along w...

This is an old post but I saw some of the mainframe related posts on facebook but I am not sure which group is yours? Can you please share the link for the FB group?

Re: COBOL quality check on mainframes, any tool?
Thanks. I have searched online on Beautifier for COBOL and found some links. But all searches suggest for a product to be purchased... can nothing be done in REXX or in the COBOL editor itself?

How to check for Null Indicator in COBOL?
Hi,
When I select some data from DB2 using SQL in COBOL program and a column in DB2 contains Null then how to capture and test that the column is Null? If you can guide me, that will be helpful.
