Microfocus COBOL compiler for Itanium II

[Ian Lochray]

We want to port our application to Itanium. I understand, however, that Microfocus/Merant will not be producing a COBOL compiler until the end of the year. Does anyone have any more information on the subject?

Now that Itanium 2 is out, I want to port to that and use HP-UX 11i v2. The microfocus compiler is for 11.22. My uderstanding was that the 11.23 version would not be out until December. Do you know if the 11.22 version is certified on 11.23?
