Micro Focus OO COBOL 4.2 Run-Time Libraries
(Deprecation)
The HP-UX Micro Focus Object Oriented COBOL PA-RISC runtime libraries (product
number B2435EB) will no longer be included in future HP-UX 11i releases for
Itanium-based platforms.
These libraries were originally made available to help customers continue to use this
COBOL code in an emulation mode under Aries. The native HP-UX COBOL compiler is
now available on Itanium-based platforms. There is no longer a need for simulation of
the Object Oriented COBOL PA_RISC libraries to run under Aries. The HP-UX/Micro
Focus Server Express product, including the Application Server, has been ported to the
HP-UX Itanium-based platform.
Object File Tools (elfdump)
The elfdump application dumps information contained in the ELF object files.
Summary of Change
The elfdump -tv option has been introduced to print out the version string of the symbol
when printing the symbol table.
