Does COBOL 5 make use of below the line storage outside of the CICS DSA i.e. OSCOR?

Question & Answer


Question

I am migrating to COBOL 5 and would like to know if COBOL still uses OSCOR for some verbs

Answer

COBOL Version 5 is the same as earlier versions, it only uses below the line storage if you tell it too, via the LE run-time options HEAP and STACK.
