Rel 1.50
 

CBL are pleased to announce General Availabilty of the following new software release for IBM mainframe MVS, VSE and CMS platforms:

  • CBLi 1.50

The new release of CBLi may be installed as part of the full CBL product bundle, which includes SELCOPY 2.02 and CBLVCAT 2.12.

A separate upgrade bundle is also supplied for MVS customers already using CBLi 1.4x, which may be downloaded from the CBLi downloads pages.

The full product bundles may be downloaded from either of the SELCOPY downloads or CBLVCAT downloads pages.


What's new in CBLi 1.50?

CBLi 1.50 is predominantly for MVS systems.

CMS and VSE users should review the CBLi 1.50 New Features before deciding whether to upgrade from CBLi 1.4x, as benefits are insignificant (mainly bug fixes and minor features) relative to those for MVS.

For MVS (z/OS) systems, CBLi 1.50 introduces a major new feature, SDE (Structured Data Edit).

Initial SDE support is for in-storage edit using COBOL copybooks or CBLi's own file-structure definition syntax.
Support for large files, more sophisticated VSAM support and file-structure definition using PL/1 copybooks and Assembler DSECTs is planned for the next release.

Changes and features introduced in the new product release may be found in the CBLi 1.50 New Features and CBLi Structured Data Edit (SDE) documents.

Your feedback drives the development of our software.
