Re: CSP/AD and zOS 1.8
Rose, We exchanged 'offlist' about our successful testing of CSP in our Test Lpar and I promised an update when we cutover to production. We converted our production lpars from z/OS 1.4 to z/OS 1.8 using the concatenation of the z/OS1.7 LE Libraries in the CSP product. Although not supported,... It is working fine. There were some issues with other non-OS products in our software mix, but those are now resolved. (We converted this past Sunday). So it on to the next project... A z9 Upgrade this Sunday.!!! Thanks gabe Rose said: We have a site still using CSP/AD (unsupported). The product failed in the BUILD function under under z/OS 1.8. We received word from IBM that they had customers running CSP/AD with Z/OS 1.8 reporting similiar problems. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: CSP/AD and zOS 1.8
Others have provided some good answers to the short-term unsupported fix. The supported fix is to get thee updated to Rational Enterprise Generation Language (EGL). There are migration guides located here (scroll down to the bottom): http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/products/egl/egldoc.html The last link on that page (Cross System Product v4.1 Migration to EGL) is the most relevant in your case, so please start there. Migration is a two-step procedure, first migrating to VisualAge Generator (last version) and then to Rational EGL. Ultimately on the mainframe you'd likely license and install Rational COBOL Runtime for zSeries (5655-R29) in lieu of CSP. (You can also generate Java from EGL and deploy to other runtimes such as WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.) On the development client side you'd use Rational Business Developer (5724-S50).

Re: CSP/AD and zOS 1.8
Make a copy of your last LE SCEERUN library that worked with CSP for build/compile. In our case it was 1.7. STEPLIB to it. That has worked for us up through 1.9. No one will hassle you. We've had no problems with actual CSP execution through 1.9. . .
