Hi,
I am trying to generate a JCL thru a COBOL program and I am writing the following MOVE statement but it gives me a error. Because the PARM field has the value in quotes and the whole statement has to be within quotes too.
MOVE '//DEMAND EXEC FORCE,PARM='NODACHK''
TO TEST1-RECORD.
Please let me know how do i correct this.
Error Message-
1701 IKF1007I-W NODACHK NOT PRECEDED BY A SPACE. ASSUME SPACE.
1701 IKF1079I-C ALPHANUMERIC LIT HAS ZERO LENGTH. ASSUME ONE SPACE.
1701 IKF1007I-W NOT PRECEDED BY A SPACE. ASSUME SPACE.
1701 IKF3001I-E NODACHK NOT DEFINED.
1701 IKF4007I-C TO MISSING OR MISPLACED IN MOVE STATEMENT. ASSUMED IN REQUIRED POSITION
1701 IKF4052I-E ALPHANUMERIC LITERAL (AN) MAY NOT BE TARGET FIELD FOR ALPHANUMERIC LITERAL (AN) IN MOVE STATEMENT, AND IS DISCARDED.
1701 IKF4008I-W SUPERFLUOUS TO FOUND IN MOVE STATEMENT. IGNORED. |

Hello Avinash Gupta and welcome to the forums,

MOVE '//DEMAND EXEC FORCE,PARM='NODACHK''
TO TEST1-RECORD.
|
You have "unbalanced quotes".
Try this:
| Code: |
MOVE SPACES TO TEST1-RECORD.
STRING '//DEMAND EXEC FORCE,PARM='
QUOTE
NODACHK
QUOTE DELIMITED BY '\'
INTO TEST1-RECORD. |
I'm not connect, so i've not tested this. |

| Thanks folks! Both the solutions worked for me. I tried both and they worked. |

Another common way to handle embedded single quotes is to enter them twice:
MOVE 'JOE''S BOOK' TO VAR. |

That's the simplest and most straight forward way, if you have ever been taught COBOL (or most any other programming language). |

| That's what Avinash did, except he forgot to add the closing quote that pairs with '//DEMAND.... |

Hello,
Yup, i almost went with the quotes and literal solution but wanted to offer a way to accomplish the task and also be able to use variables in the resulting strung value.
Quite often, jcl that i create on the fly has more than literals. . .
Hope it wasn't mis-leading. . . |
