Thanks for the update. I think this was announced at IPROF'96 as one of
a set of enhancements that would be released by the end of this calendar
year. I appreciate the work done to make the announced enhancements, but
it was apparent from that meeting and from HP World that there are no
plans for other enhancements to the Cobol II/iX compiler.

From what I have been hearing since IPROF I am concerned with the future
and what it holds for core language enhancement on MPE/iX.
