Hi Patrick, If the machine you are running has the IBM Debug Tool you can use that to determine the compilers used to compile each CSECT in each load module in a PDS. Look in the IBM Debug Tool Users Guide (V11) in Appendix G. It gives a lot of information. You can then use REXX or CLISTs to strip out what you don't want.
Your note makes it sound like all load modules are stand alone. There can be many load modules linked together to make one load module and there can be load modules compiled with different compilers within. Your program would have to search through all of them. Not an easy task. The postings on this site are my own and don't necessarily represent IBM's positions, strategies or opinions.

From casual observation this appears to be in the form of YYYYMMDDHHSS and prefixed with the PROGRAM-ID. I assume a standard LOAD can be used to load the module into storage for inspection. The questions are: 1) Is there a sure-fire way to determine if the loaded program is COBOL? 2) How do I navigate to the COBOL compile timestamp? The programs only need to be identified as Enterprise COBOL or not. Thanks for any tips, pointers, and references you can provide. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
