Question:
Do I need to recompile in order to run with each new version of iscobol.jar or other runtime libraries that you release?
I compiled with one build and then upgraded to a
later build. When I attempted to run my program I received the following:
com.iscobol.rts.IscobolRuntimeException:
This object incompatible with this runtime version: rts=release 2007.1.0
build#309-20070823,obj=254
at com.iscobol.rts.Version.checkVersion(Unknown Source)
Answer:
Veryant guarantees the backward compatibility of the runtime framework when using official releases. Build 254, for example, is an intermediate build or a temporary fix (t-fix). The isCOBOL 2007 release was build 261. A program compiled with build 261 can be run by newer builds.
Note that isCOBOL does not have anything similar to the ACUCOBOL-GT -cXX and -zXX compile options (where XX is the version of the runtime).
To check the backward compatibility of your program you can use this command:
iscrun -info MYPROGRAM
