Hi Guys,

We are migrating here from IBM-Cobol to RM/Cobol.
Now we are getting problems to find more information about the IBM
Compiler directives.
On the IBM Homepage there was nothing to found.
After using the search function here, we get a couple of anwers, but
there still some question open.
Is there someone who knows, where we can find a description or manual
about these directives?

Thanks in advance.

Ahmad & Don Fitzgerald.

I found all mu mainframe manuals from their home page at http://www.ibm.com/us/en/.
Follow the link for documentation. You could also do a search for
cobol and it should return links to the appropriate documents

What do you mean by "IBM-Cobol"? Are you talking about a PC COBOL? An AIX
COBOL? or a mainframe COBOL?

The term "directives" is (almost) never used for IBM mainframe compilers, so my
guess is that you may be talking about a PC compiler. If so, exactly WHICH IBM
provided PC compiler are you using? (Depending on how old or recent it is, the
answer may be very different as to what "directives" existed)
