The www.zcobol.org website has been updated with new zcobol NIST Test Suite Results:
http://www.zcobol.org/zcobol_NIST_COBOL_1985_Test_Results.htm
The upcoming z390/zcobol full release v1.5.01 successfully translates and assembles 409 NIST test suite COBOL programs with no hard assembly errors and just MNOTE's identifying as yet unsupported features. Two new www.zpar.org reports have been added: The first shows the frequency distribution of translated macro call statements, and the second shows the frequency of all generated HLASM Basic Assembler Language (BAL) instructions.
Also included is a current pending priority list for future zcobol development. All users interested in participating should join the zcobol email group where you can submit your own priority list. In addition to the current HLASM target language enviroment, there are also plans to develop additional sets of zcobol code generation macros for Java, C, and Intel MASM.

Best wishes carrying z390 forward. If you find some Java or HLASM macro code that makes no sense at all, let me know and I'll try to decode it.
My 40+ years in system software development have been fun. Perhaps the greatest satisfaction comes from thousands of students that found PC/370 useful and then successfully getting z390 running on Windows, Linux, and Apple OSX.
