COBOL Offerings Through Time
Extra work is needed when migrating
across the thick lines because of
infrastructure changes
 OS/VS COBOL migration new
generations is the most difficult
 Migration from 2nd generation to 3rd
generation is difficult
 Migration within the generation, is
very easy, including from v5 to v6
Compiler Front end Back End ABO Eligibility

Compiler Terms:
• Front End handles parsing and language rules
• Back End handles optimization and code
generation

Migrating to COBOL V6.1
 Migrating from older compilers (COBOL V4 or older) to V6 (or V5)
• Needs advance planning
• System setup (e.g. PDSE, memory requirements…)
• Identify and resolve old syntax removed in COBOL V6
• Migrate applications compiled by OS/VS COBOL and VS COBOL II NORES to Enterprise
COBOL
• Fix Invalid Program and Data Issues
• Re-compile
• Regression Test…
This is a one time investment… Migrating from COBOL V5 to V6 is the same easier process as
was migrating from COBOL V3 to V4
Consult Migration Guide http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27036733 or ask your IBM rep. to arrange a Migration Workshop

The Application Development and Test Solution will provide highly competitive stand-alone pricing for
z/OS based development and test workloads. Modern DevOps tooling can be optionally added at uniquely
discounted prices.
The New Application Solution will provide a highly competitive stand-alone priced offering for new z/OS
applications, such as CICS TS or WebSphere applications, that are not currently running on any Z platform
server. This is the strategic replacement for the current zCAP and IWP priced offerings.
The Payments Solution will provide a ‘per payment’ pricing option for IBM Financial Transaction Manager for
z/OS deployments. This new offering directly ties operational cost to business value by basing the price on
the number of payments processed, rather than capacity used to process them.

Notes:
Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput that any user will experience will vary depending upon considerations
such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user's job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve throughput improvements
equivalent to the performance ratios stated here.
IBM hardware products are manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts. Regardless, our warranty terms apply.
All customer examples cited or described in this presentation are presented as illustrations of the manner in which some customers have used IBM products and the results they may have achieved. Actual environmental costs and performance
characteristics will vary depending on individual customer configurations and conditions.
This publication was produced in the United States. IBM may not offer the products, services or features discussed in this document in other countries, and the information may be subject to change without notice. Consult your local IBM business
contact for information on the product or services available in your area.
All statements regarding IBM's future direction and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without notice, and represent goals and objectives only.
Information about non-IBM products is obtained from the manufacturers of those products or their published announcements. IBM has not tested those products and cannot confirm the performance, compatibility, or any other claims related to non-IBM
products. Questions on the capabilities of non-IBM products should be addressed to the suppliers of those products.
Prices subject to change without notice. Contact your IBM representative or Business Partner for the most current pricing in your geography.
This information provides only general descriptions of the types and portions of workloads that are eligible for execution on Specialty Engines (e.g, zIIPs, zAAPs, and IFLs) ("SEs"). IBM authorizes customers to use IBM SE only to execute the
processing of Eligible Workloads of specific Programs expressly authorized by IBM as specified in the “Authorized Use Table for IBM Machines” provided at www.ibm.com/systems/support/machine_warranties/machine_code/aut.html (“AUT”). No
other workload processing is authorized for execution on an SE. IBM offers SE at a lower price than General Processors/Central Processors because customers are authorized to use SEs only to process certain types and/or amounts of workloads as
specified by IBM in the AUT.
