When we went to z/OS 1.8, CSP compiles broke. That was long after IBM could help as the last of the CSP developers had since vanished in the Gulag. Since it was a z/OS problem rather than compiler (which had not changed), we STEPLIBed at compile time back the 1.7 LE library, and CSP compiles worked fine. No problem actually running the result in current versions up through z/OS 2.1 as long as we got past CSP compile.
We're still running that way. . .

From a support and computer utilization point of view there should be a project to kill the beast or get to the latest and greatest (EGL I think). This will probably be a barrier to going to COBOL V5 and higher. I have not fond memories of this beast. Among other things positive packed numbers get an F sign nibble, not a C sign nibble while negative numbers get the D sign nibble. I couldn't tell from the information online whether the most recent incarnation still has this idiosyncrasy.
