'The output of the preprocessor is then fed into the compiler or assembler.'

This line may make it sound like he is going to alter the compiler or assembler, but I still think he won't. Both CICS and DB2 SQL go through a preprocessor too, and the COBOL compiler doesn't know squat about CICS or DB2 SQL commands. The CICS and SQL stuff is just changed to familiar COBOL MOVEs and CALLs that invoke a seperate program that handles the CICS and DB2 SQL commands properly. (It doesn't sound like you've done mainframe stuff, Jeff. Am I correct?)
