DescriptionJoin us for an in-depth look at "IBM COBOL Elevate – Upgrade capability", a powerful new solution designed to simplify and accelerate migration to the latest IBM Enterprise COBOL compiler.
Upgrading from older COBOL releases, such as Enterprise COBOL V4 and earlier, to Enterprise COBOL 6.5 can be a complex and resource-intensive effort. This session explores common upgrade challenges and demonstrates how the recently announced IBM COBOL Elevate for z/OS helps organizations accelerate their upgrade journey with greater confidence. Learn how the product's Upgrade capability helps assess application readiness, plan and prioritize upgrade activities, identify long-standing coding issues and potential compiler compatibility risks, and accelerate code changes through AI-assisted remediation.
Attendees will gain practical insights into accelerating compiler upgrades, minimizing risk, and enabling development teams to take advantage of the latest COBOL innovations and performance enhancements available on IBM Z.
