Re: compilers and oracle 11g

Ya, for some reason, SunGard HE has not moved on from Cobol with their 
application since it has moved from OpenVMS.

Believe it or not alot of shops still have Cobol, Powerbuilder and even VB 5
 
the old if it isn't broken don't fix it attitude... or my personal favorite.....
Well it has worked fine for 10 years why do we need to mess with it?
 
Been there, had to support it... still drinking to erase those memories... or 
should I say nightmares

Lyall,
 
 
    I do believe that if you installed the 64 bit database binaries then the 64 
bit compatible pre compiler was installed as well.  Regrettably the darn thing 
isn't nice enough to tell you.
 
    BTW: who uses Cobol any more???  Another shadow from the dark side.

Hi Everyone,
Kinda off topic.
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
