41. Why are our imports failing with the CA-Telon libararies?
All of your users most likely have have their own Import JCL. This JCL was was working fine with CA-Telon 2.1, and 2.3. Now since you have made CA-Telon 2.4 or 4.0 available to your users, imports using these libraries are failing. This is occurring because CA-Telon 2.4 introduced an extra step in the import procedure and this step is only compatible with the CA-Telon 2.4 libraries. The Import procedure that is created with the installation of Telon 2.4 or 4.0 needs to be used. This procedure is located in the PDSQUAL.INSTALL library. TLNUMDEF is the in-stream portion of the procedure, and JUMDEF, is the JCL execution of the procedure.
42. Why should I be interested in Casegen ?
Many reasons. First of all, considerable cost savings can be achieved, plus your Telon systems will be in better shape after conversion to Casegen. This is because Casegen generates programs that use the new COBOL constructs that meet the latest ANSI standards. This means that your programs can run on several alternative platforms with little change, such as UNIX, WINDOWS NT or AS/400 provided they are CICS or batch SQL programs. Also, because Casegen is so easy to use, cross-training is easy, and future maintenance requires less technical skill. Programs generated by Casegen, irrespective of whether they were originally Telon, are totally free of any proprietary subroutines (unlike Telon). This means that your production systems are now completely non-proprietary as Casegen could be thrown-away at any time and maintenance done on the COBOL programs themselves! Of course, it would be silly to do this - Casegen makes the maintenance so easy - but this could be done if you wish - there is no lock-in to Casegen as with other products.
43. Will CA-Telon operate under OS/390 V2 R10?
CA-Telon operates under all the OS/390 releases to date. If you are upgrading to an OS/390 release and running under a version of CA-Telon that is pre-4.0, we suggest that you upgrade to CA-Telon 4.0 as soon as possible.
44. Will CA-Telon support DB2 6.x?
