Hello,
Further questions please..
Do the MS and Fujitsu compilers support VSAM KSDS files? What about
DB2 access, CICS access, guess I'm asking EXEC CICS suchandsuch and
EXEC SQL suchandsuch.
Thanks

Huh? It looks as though you want an IBM mainframe compiler, not a
Windows compiler. Or maybe you want terminal software to allow you
to run TSO/SPF on your mainframe.

Right about a mainframe compiler. My 1998 IBM compiler runs nicely
under NT but fails utterly under XP thus my interest in an XP version.
From IBM it is part of a $10,000 'great' package (last I heard) - most
unfriendly.

I semi-expected your comments about CICS and DB2 but what's the
difference between KSDS and Indexed Sequential? For that matter what's
the diff between ESDS and 'flat or sequential' files?

I really should know this stufff but I don't!

Thanks
Graham
P.S. Have used DB2 and CICS calls from Cobol pgms many times but have
'never' ever examined syntax etc - never thought about writing my own
DB2 calls - maybe it's not difficult.
