Hi,

I am working on a COBOL DB2 program where i have removed DB2 from the existing program. When i try to compile this module it gives me compilation error, that say unsucessful bind; This is happenning even when i have changed the program name too.

Why the program is going for binding even though there is no DB2-SQL statement present in it.

Please Help.

Regards

because You are using a process/procedure designed for db2!
ask Your support for the proper procedure to use for non DB2 programs

I don't think there is any different setup/process required for it. I already made my changes by taking a reference of Normal COBOL program which does not make use of either DB2 or DLI.

Hi,

Actually i am able to copile the code successfully now. The only changes that i have made now are i removed (deleted) revision history and initial description. These para's although were commented (as usual) but had key words like DB2/SQL and an earlier DB2 table name(that i have removed now).

Can any one suggest me why it happen?.

Regards

well... Your way of thinking is wrong,
if You had made the proper changes, or used the proper procedures You would not have faced the issue!

the processes are quite different ... ( and for CICS an additional preprocessing step should be added)

plain cobol...
compile
link

cobol DL/i-IMS
compile
link ==> including the proper dl/i-IMS stub

cobol DB2
precompile/preprocess
compile
link ==> including the proper DB2 stub
bind

NO, we cannot tell because we know nothing about Your environment

are You using some kind of managed environment / tool for the developing process

some of them use data inside COBOL<any language supported> comment statements to find out about
the characteristics and environment of a source program

Still i am in doubt how comments(revision history or description) can affect the way a program being compiled.

We use Panvalet Library for developing/keeping ouR COBOL modules.

instead of useless speculation, why do not You answer the questions You are asked?

do You have some king of automated process for the compilations??
if Yes ask Your support about it...
if not the process as exposed in my previous post depends only on the jcl You use

the bind does not take place by itself, a jcl step must be run,
and the content of the program can not influence the jcl being executed
