COBOL - Ready for IBM Enterprise COBOL V6R4

[FALLAI-Denis]

Description of the enhancement requested

IBM Enterprise COBOL V6R4 is announced for availability on May 27, 2022.

This version brings new functionalities, in particular at the language level, with the support of user-defined functions, in accordance with the ISO COBOL 2002 standard.

IBM Enterprise COBOL Value Unit Edition for z/OS 6.4 delivers simplified COBOL/Java interoperability, AMODE 31/AMODE 64 interoperability, and support for the new IBM z16 hardware

We look forward to discovering and experimenting with this new version of the IBM COBOL compiler.

To date, Z Open Editor does not fully support the management of user-defined functions: the textmate grammar accepts the syntax, but the language server rejects it.

Will Z Open Editor be there on May 27, 2022 to support the new COBOL syntaxes of IBM ENterprise COBOL V6R4?
