There are "a few" PTFs for LE that are required to support Enterprise COBOL v5.1. The minimum are listed in the COBOL v5.1 Program Directory, but several more have been issued since then. The have been several PTFs issued for COBOL 5.1 as well, including a few "roll-up" PTFs you probably should consider "essential". Each of those "roll-ups", most recently issued in March, May, July and September 2014, addresses a dozen or more APARs. You might also consider a recent COBOL 4.2 PTF that introduces a new compile-time option FLAGMIG4, intended to identify existing source statements and compile-time options that might be unsupported or "handled" differently in COBOL 5.1. Unfortunately I don't have a list of all the PTFs handy at the moment. -jc- ********************************************************************** Information contained in this e-mail message and in any attachments thereto is confidential.
