There are several different options for COBOL dialect to use in Mainframe Express. Which one would you recommend? Here are my options...

COBOL for MVS
COBOL/370 release 1
VS COBOL II release 4.0
OS/VS COBOL
DOS/VS COBOL
COBOL for OS/390

Thanks,

Nick

Nick,
Surely this depends on the destination platform and environment?

Its will only be used in Mainframe Express. Output will just be viewed in the SPOOL and printed. (Taking a class).

Thanks,

Nick

Nick,
From another thread, it seems that your mainframe is being de-commissioned and the programs are to run uder MFE. I woudl therefore agree with Cros's suggestion, but would look at each program to confirm that it will run in the chosen Cobol Dialect.
