it is, metalink doc # 43208.1 version 5 is certified by HP-UX Itanium, ORacle 11.1. I just don't know if 32bit or 64. I would think 64. -----Original Message----- From: Pankaj Jain <pjain@xxxxxxxxxx> To: lyallbarbour@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, Mar 19, 2010 9:22 am Subject: RE: compilers and oracle 11g Please check with you vendor first if MF Cobol is compatible /certified with 11g.

We are installing a new compiler for Cobol Microfocus on our HP-UX 11.23 and Oracle 11.1.0.7 We are on Itanium 64 bit. We have the option of installing 32bit or 64 bit Microfocus v5.0 I was going to make an SR, but thought i'd get a quicker response from the list. This is the SQLPLUS banner: SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Fri Mar 19 09:05:31 2010 Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle. All rights reserved. Connected to: Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options it says 64bit, but, to tell the truth, i never really looked into what's installed... which compiler should we install? 32bit or 64bit Microfocus? i want to say 64bit especially since it's Itanium... but, i'm not sure, or what's certified/recommended. I could only find a Metalink Doc that says Micro v5.0 is certified with 11.1.0.7 on HP-uX Itanium. Nothing about bit. Thanks, Lyall
