CODE-1 Plus 5.0 Maintenance Update 7 Announcement
Dear Precisely Customer,
Precisely is announcing update 7 for the CODE-1 Plus 5.0.
The CODE-1 Plus Maintenance Release 7 (C1P050000F08) contains COBOL programs updates. The COBOL programs are moving from COBOL 4.2 to COBOL 6.1.
This update ensures continued IBM support, improved performance through enhanced optimization, and long-term maintainability of CODE-1 Plus.
To ensure a smooth transition and optimal performance, please take the following actions before installing this release:
- Verify z/OS and IBM LE Compatibility. Ensure your system is running a z/OS version and IBM Language Environment (LE) runtime libraries that support COBOL 6.1.
- Update STEPLIB References. All JCL STEPLIB references must be updated to point to the new CODE-1 Plus PDSE load libraries. Any existing references to PDS libraries must be removed or updated accordingly.
- Validate Custom Integrations. If your system includes custom calls to CODE-1 Plus components, verify that all linkage conventions are compatible with the COBOL 6.1 LE runtime.
- Perform Regression Testing. We recommend conducting a complete regression test cycle to validate all integrations.
This release also included customer reported bug fixes. To review full details of the release, please see the release notes here.
The CODE-1 Plus 5.0 reference manuals are located here.
