Breaking news! COBOL support has been extended.
For all Banner clients who have converted from the General module Batch COBOL to Java, or are working on the conversion, Ellucian has announced a critical defect in the GLBLSELJ process. Ellucian is advising clients to continue to use the COBOL versions until patches are released on September 28th. Ellucian will be releasing patches for three versions of Banner General: 8.15, 8.16, and 8.17.
- More details on the defect can be found here.
- More information on patch releases can be found here.
For tracking purposes each release has a separate defect number, but they are all the same issue: PD0009648, PD0009988, PD0009992.
To assist with the transition, Ellucian has just announced that COBOL support will be extended beyond September 30, 2023.
