If you send me (off-list) a name and contact information for the IBM sales person who told your company that RDz doesn't include a COBOL (or PL/I) compiler (for Windows), I can make certain that they get contacted by someone within IBM to help "re-educate" them.
In the mean time, you can find the LRM for "BIM COBOL for Windows" (the compiler ocmponent of RDz) at: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/igy7lr10.pdf while the Porgramming Guide is at: http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/igy7pg10.pdf The "fact sheet" for the current version of RDz is at: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/rdz/about/?S_CMP=rnav&S_CMP=rnav In particular, see the paragraph starting, "IBM COBOL for Windows compiler supports development of IBM COBOL applications including compiling, testing, debugging, and deploying to Windows platforms. IBM PL/I for Windows compiler supports development of IBM PL/I applications including compiling, testing, debugging, and deploying to Windows platforms." ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] (Farley, Peter x23353) Date: Dec 2, 7:30 am Subject: editting & testing COBOL code To: bit.listserv.ibm-main > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill Klein > Sent: Wednesday, December 02, 2009 4:03 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: editting & testing COBOL code <Snipped> > You have something set up VERY strangely if you thinkRDzdoesn't come > with a "full blown COBOL compiler".

Well then IBM sales needs to get it's act together, because we were told very specifically that there was NOT a compiler provided underRDzfor either COBOL or PL/1. I don't haveRDzinstalled, so I was relying on the sales presentation. Do you have a url for theRDzreference that documents the compiler?
