Fixing Sequence Error in IBM Enterprise COBOL: IGYLI0090

Hi,

I making changes in a program. The original return code when compiled is CC 00. But when I comment-out the paragraphs that are not needed anymore and added the required changes, the return code is CC 04. There are no severe errors but only warning messages which are sequence errors.

===============================================
PP 5655-G53 IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and OS/390 3.2.0 Date 12
LineID Message code Library phase message text

IGYLI0090-W 861 sequence errors were found in this program.
Messages Total Informational Warning Error Severe Terminating
Printed: 1 1
PP 5655-G53 IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS and OS/390 3.2.0 GLFT Date 12
===============================================

The program works fine but I want to remove the warning messages thus when compiled the return code is CC 00. The problem is I don't know what's causing the sequence errors unlike severe errors there're corresponding line nos where you can easily determine what's causing the error.

How do you fix these kinds of errors?

Thanks.

Hi elmoy21

When the COBOL source is compiled:

NOSEQUENCE indicates that the reference numbers are not checked for sequence errors. NOSEQUENCE is the default value.

Try changing the compiler option to NOSEQ.

Thanks

Hi Arun,

I've searched the web and found out that these sequence nos are from columns 1 through 6 which I used for maintenance documentation . So these errors do not really affect the program?

Thanks.
