Hi,

When i'm looking in 'google' about Cobol Versions, i find a big
confusion and no clear different Host <> PC.


Know anyone a reliable Listing from Cobol-Versions in the IBM-
Mainframe-
Environment ?


Specially I need to know, since when and in which version COBOL know
the statements 'XML Parse' and 'XML Generate'


thanks for answers !

XML PARSE was introduced in Enterprise COBOL V3R1, see:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3LR10/FRONT_1.6.2

XML GENERATE was introduced in Enterprise COBOL V3R3, see:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3LR20/PREFACE.8.1

The most current (MVS, OS/390, z/OS) compiler is Enterprise COBOL V4R1, see:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/Shelves/igy3sh40

If you actually do want a history of all the releases of IBM COBOL, there is a
page, but I can't find it quickly.

NOTE:
DOS and VSE COBOL's are a separate issue.

One minor [sorta] change to Bill's response. Announced about the time
Bill wrote his response: Ent. COBOL V4.2. Shipments began Friday,
28-Aug-2009.

And, just FWIW, since the question was specifically about XML
processing, there are a number of enhancements in V4.2 for XML in
addition to other significant enhancements. The easiest access to this
new info is via:
> http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/cobol/zos/
From there you can see the Announcement and the COBOL Library for the
new release.

Should you want to look at other platforms, then the 'COBOL Family' page:
> http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/cobol/
would be the place to start.
