With COBOL 6.2, are there changes the way INITIALIZE worked?
Posted: Tue May 05, 2020 11:03 am
We had been upgrading from COBOL 4.2 to COBOL 6.2. There was a program that ran fine under COBOL v4.2 and gets S0C7 under COBOL v6.2. it needed to initialize a field to prevent the abend. COBOL v6.2 is not forgiving of uninitialized fields. Any experience with this, please?
And is there some document explaining the behavior? I don't seem to locate one.
