Re: Eliminating CA-Optimizer

The real question is "do they have a contractual right to run the programs after the license is terminated?" I don't know the answer, but that is the real question. If the answer is yes, then if the programs do not continue to work, they have a legal beef with CA. If the answer is no, then eve

Eliminating CA-Optimizer

We support an old OS/390 (yep!) system that is slowly being eliminated. To cut costs, the customer is asking about eliminating CA-Optimizer. 1) Would all the Cobol programs require re-compiling? 2) Or, will the run-time library continue to work once the license is cancelled? -- Tony Thigpen

"%" ahead of "*" would be consistent with the collation sequence defined by the "POSIX C" locale: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.cbcpx01/cloc.htm and here it says: "The POSIX C locale uses the ASCII collation sequence; the first 128 ASCII characters are

Re: strcasecmp() comparing punctuation in ASCII?

I had never paid any attention to what the locale was. I called setlocale() (yes, you use setlocale() to get the locale!) and the answer was "C". And yes, we are POSIX(ON). I am not seeing the behavior you ascribe to the standard. In the original issue I detected, "%" strcasecmp()'ed ahead of "

A couple of takeaways from all of this, at least for me: 1. Rather surprisingly, strcmp() and strcasecmp() do not return the same results *for strings that are not mixed case*! For example, for ("ABC", "123") strcmp() would return < but strcasecmp() would return > (untested). Consider the followin
