Dear Valued HP Customer,
For many years HP and Micro Focus have had a very close working
relationship. Customers have been able to order Micro Focus' COBOL products
for HP-UX, and support for those products, directly from HP. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of impending changes that will affect how you
obtain future licenses and support for Micro Focus COBOL products.
Recently, HP and Micro Focus have entered into a new phase in our
relationship. Effective May 31, 2004, HP will no longer offer the Micro
Focus COBOL products and new support contracts, and they will be removed
from HP price lists. These Micro Focus COBOL products will continue to be
offered directly by Micro Focus and will be available with support
contracts. In addition, Micro Focus has agreed to continue to support the
HP-UX 11i roadmap with new versions of Micro Focus COBOL products. These
products will be offered to customers under Micro Focus' standard licensing,
maintenance and support agreement terms and pricing. With respect to
support, HP will continue to provide its current level of support until the
earlier of August 31, 2005 or expiration of support contracts preceding that
date. In summary, after May 31, 2004, if you wish to purchase new licenses
and support contracts for Micro Focus COBOL products, you should do so
directly from Micro Focus.
The relationship between HP and Micro Focus remains strong, and Micro Focus
will continue to have direct access to HP technical support to permit them
to optimize their COBOL products to take full advantage of the performance
offered by HP-UX 11i on HP 9000 and HP Integrity servers.
The information below details the availability and support of Micro Focus
COBOL products directly from HP during the transition period:
* Micro Focus products available from HP: Through May 31, 2004
* New support contracts and renewals from HP: Through May 31, 2004
* Service support for service contracts purchased directly from HP:
Through August 31, 2005
In addition to Micro Focus, other key COBOL vendors, including Acucorp and
LegacyJ, continue to offer and support their products on HP-UX 11i. These
vendors may be contacted as listed, below:
Micro Focus, Inc. <http://www.microfocus.com/> www.microfocus.com
Acucorp. Inc. <http://www.acucorp.com/> www.acucorp.com
LegacyJ Corporation <http://www.legacyj.com/> www.legacyj.com
HP remains committed to making you successful and we look forward to
continuing to serve your IT needs.
If you have further questions, please contact your HP Sales Representative.
Sincerely,
Donald Jenkins
Vice President of Business Critical Servers Marketing

Subject: [HPADM] HP/UX 11i COBOL
Hello Group:
HP has announced it no longer supports MicroFocus Cobol and I would be
interested in what other COBOL compilers are being used by others on HP/UX
11i.
