HP COBOL B.13.40 Release Notes and differences

[Jon McDermott]

I'm trying to find Release Notes for HP COBOL B.13.40. We are currently using HP COBOL B.13.35 on HP-UX 11.0 and I'd like to review the Release Notes to see what has changed. I'm not having any luck finding the Release Notes for B.13.40 anywhere on the ITRC. Can anyone give me some pointers?

From another perspective, does anyone have information on the differences between HP COBOL B.13.35 and B.13.40? I have some customer sites trying to use B.13.40 and they are reporting problems compiling programs that I can compile successfully on B.13.35. I don't have a lot of details yet, nor do I have B.13.40 installed on one of my systems yet.

Thanks in advance!

Jon,

We have only B.13.35 release notes on our website at

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/dev/index.html#COBOL

So I have attached the document that you require.

All the best

Jon,

Please ensure that your customers have setup their systems correctly such as:-

$ export COBDIR=/opt/cobol/cobdir

$ export SHLIB_PATH=$COBDIR/coblib

$ export PATH=$PATH:$COBDIR/bin

and all other environmental variables are correct.

It has been known that workarounds to old problems in cobol are still around which are fixed in the new versions and as such can cause new problems.

I hope that this helps.

Keith
