Hello,
If the program now needs more than 100 bytes of "parameter data" and previously it did not, how would the existing code use the new data without being modified? |

The scenario is we are sending the compiler options via parm to a cobol program. Previously we were sending which is not more than 100 bytes but as per the current situation we are supposed to send more than 100 bytes..
Thanks,
Ugandar |

If you explain what this does, it will help. What kind of process are you using that requires sending compiler options to a program?
The more you explain, the more likely it is that someone will be able to help. |

This keeps getting more and more interesting (amusing). |

Have you tried using the abbreviated versions of the compiler options? Why are you sending the compiler options to a cobol program. Instead of telling us what you can not do why don't you explain what you are trying to do, then maybe could help you. |

I too dont know the exact scenario.. but the problem is previously we were using older version of cobol so we had less data (compiler options which is used for cobol compiler)
Now the version is changed so we are using more compiler options which exceeds 100 bytes
the program is already running in production and i dont know what is the exact process that the program does
this is the actual case..
Thanks,
Ugandar |

You do not feed an application program compiler options, you feed it runtime options....They can be abreviated...... |

If you don't know what is going on, that makes it very hard for any of us to help you. |

Hello,
If you are really providing compiler options to a cobol program, i'd suggest you look at which compiler options are being input and change the compiler default values so that not so many need be provided as "input". Why do many options require other than the default setting?
If you provide an example of the parameters you are sending in the PARM=, we may be able to better understand and offer suggestions. |

I wonder - will the poster;
a) find out what the program does and let us know? then we can help
b) give the information asked for? then we can help
c) give yet another small, vaguely connected piece of information? then we can ..........guess, speculate and ask yet more questions!
Does anyone else wish they were a dentist then you could get paid for drawing teeth!
answers on a postcard please |

I was hoping for a response, I would like to know what was going on. I don't think the OP knew. I think he either gave up or didn't want to share with us when he did find out what was going on. |
