  * USERS AFFECTED: Users of CCCA on z/OS                        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: CCCA support for new reserved words in  *
  *                      Enterprise COBOL V6.1.                  *

  ****************************************************************
  Enterprise COBOL V6.1 adds five new reserved words, as part of
  the continuing process of implementing new standards.  In order
  to support these, CCCA target language level 5 "Enterprise COBOL
  V5" will now be described as "Enterprise COBOL V5 and above", or
  "V5+" in contexts where there is insufficient space for the full
  description, and the five new reserved words will be added to
  those recognized during conversion to this language level:
    ALLOCATE
    DEFAULT
    FREE
    JSON
    JSON-CODE
  If any of these words are used as data-names in source code at
  a previous language level, then the conversion process will add
  a suffix as usual to avoid a conflict.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• The CCCA reserved word table has been updated to include the new
  keywords, and LCP846 has been updated to add a suffix if these
  words occur as data-names at an older language level. Panels and
  code have been updated to refer to the latest language level as
  "Enterprise COBOL V5 and above".
