    Prevent base deleting with procopt L and REUS

    When a DBBBATCH is unfortunately submitted with a PSB using procopt L instead of procopt A, the database is emptied (the program is the same with procopt A and procopt L: ISRT CALL).

    Increase OSAM subpools from current limit of 255 to 1024 or 2048

    As our BMP workload increases coupled with recent mergers we are fast approaching the limit of 255 OSAM subpool buffers. In our environment we have seen a slow down in BMP processing when too many BMPs are accesssing the same OSAM subpool due to l...

    Make some BINARY data types immune to TRUNC compiler option

    Enterprise COBOL has four binary "USAGE"s. BINARY, COMP, COMP-4 and COMP-5.Compiler option TRUNC affects the code generated for these, except for COMP-5, which is always treated as COMP-5, whatever the setting of TRUNC.If I want to "divide by 10 a...

    Create a CICS CBL statement to indicate a COBOL program is threadsafe
