ChangeMan compiles the program after deleting comments.

Is there a limit to the size of component which ChangeMan can compile? Is there any varible thats has to be changed for huge programs. My program compiles if I delete any '4-5' comments from my program.

Thank You!

What is a "4-5" comment????

And, for what it's worth, comments are not compiled - the compiler essentially ignores them ( namely, treats them like, well, comments ).

Hi Ronald,

I suspect this means reducing the number of lines of source code by 4 or 5. Comments rather than actual instructions. . .

duh, how many lines are in the cobol module - with copybooks.
when you reduce the comments by 4 or 5 lines, and you get a compile,
what is the line count - it is part of the compiler output.

and what happens when you don't remove the 4 or 5 lines? what kind of error do you receive?

Perhaps will the FULL source code the job is abending with an S722? and by removing just 4-5 comment lines from the source the output is reduced just enough to fall below the threshold that generates the S722? At any rate, I doubt that it's the compiler that has a problem; I don't know enough about Changeman to know whether any of its installation parms can be set to limit the input line count.

Too bad the poster couldn't provide us with a little more info, I would be willing to bet there is more info about the problem he just doesn't know what he is looking at. Maybe a workfile that is created and used to pass the source code to the compiler?
