Cant we compile a COBOL program in PS ?

Hi ,
I wrote a COBOL program in a PS file and tried compiling it. I got the JCl errors. But the same COBOL program compiled in PDS member. What is the reason ?

Regards,
Dinesh

Hey dineshsjce,

Please post the errors you got during compilation.

Dinesh,

Why did you give blank parenthsis in the lines 8 & 30?

Aaru · Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 6:09 pm

u dont have to code parenthesis for PS ! just give the dataset name ! u cud have identified that from the displayed messages !

Hi

Not like that. I didnt submit JCL. Try to understand my problem. See all I did was , I wrote a COBOL program in a Physical Sequential file and tried compiling the program . During that time I got this errors(It says JCL errors). I am still in compilation stage . I didnt go for running of the program.

yes but what you call compilation stage is just another JCL... so the JCL erros.

Would I be right in thinking that your compile run is submitted from a screen driven process.

a027412 · Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:52 pm

hey, please try this.
close the PS which contains the code and try compiling.

dick scherrer · Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:54 pm

And a process that does not validate before submitting. . .

Hi Dinesh,

Pay attention to expat's comment. Are you submitting the JCL to compile on your own or using any tool or automated process to submit.

Hello,

Once again. . . . .

People should not create their own or "tweak" the standard compile process. This causes nightmares with some regularity.
