Hi Gary Yes, There are many many calls to MQCONN, MQOPEN, etc in the PL/1 for MVS programs.

All applications are developed in PL/1 Up to 50% applications are developed in PL/1 All CICS transactions are PL/1 This type of information could be helpful with your question. Any upgrade will be depended on how vested you are in the compiler and how time critical your applications are. z/OS V2.1 and CICS TS 5.1 are fairly new. I am not sure that there are many shops using these levels of software at this time. You may also, if you have not done so, join the CICS Newsgroup and ask this question over there as well. http://www.listserv.uga.edu/archives/cics-l.html Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of Beesley, Paul > Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 6:09 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: PL/1 and z/OS 2.1 > > Hi > > I am aware that PL/1 for MVS 1.1.1 is unsupported (and probably has > been for > some time) but is anybody using it on z/OS 2.1, or CICS 5.1 for that matter? > We have a customer who is reluctant to upgrade to Enterprise PL/1 or whatever the > most recent flavour is called. > > Regards and thanks > Paul > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
