Compatibility Mode 

CM provides most of the functions available to programmers in MPE
V/E-based systems.  Additionally, CM programs can access NM data files or
procedures.  All MPE V/E object code is supported in CM. In addition
COBOL II/V, HP FORTRAN 77/V, Pascal/V, SPL/V, RPG/V, BASIC/V, and HP
Business BASIC/V compilers are available in CM at first release.  Other
subsystems available for CM use include:  KSAM/V, Transact/V, Report/V,
VPLUS/V, Dictionary/V, Inform/V, and HP Access Central/V.

By default, CM programs will access data that is compatible with MPE
V/E-based systems.

NM procedures can be called through the Switch subsystem.  For more
information on the Switch subsystem, refer to the Switch Programming 
Programmer's Guide (32650-90014).

If recompiling is necessary for CM operation, you should use one of the
MPE V/E compilers available in CM on MPE/iX and the MPE V Segmenter if
necessary.
