Hi,

Can we override AMODE value in COBOL compile JCl to compile a cobol program with AMODE=31 option. Can you please let me know what could be the PARM value we need to give in COBOL compile JCL.

Thanks in adavance,
Chinni.

Please, take this opportunity to acquaint yourself with a manual on COBOL. (Links at top of page).

this AMODE31 option is a compiler directive (key word for search in manual).

the manual will show you how to add compiler directives to override sight specific.

if you are using endevor, you need to use a different processor group.

Hello,

I suggest you talk with the Endevor or System Support people.

Usually, there are standards about which amode/rmode are to be used. These standards need to be followed not worked-around.

If you have encountered some situation that the standard does not support, this needs to be resolved for everyone, not just this compile.

go to a batch add screen, and put an asterik '*' in the PROC GROUP position and then when you have selected a modul, you will be presented with the available PROC GROUPs for the Stage you want to enter.

the user utilities also will display pre-set parms for you endevor enviornment.

all this stuff is site specific, so no one here can tell you what proc group to use.
