Why do we get MACC=4 when we compile the Cobol programs which handles files?

Hi,
Isn't there any warning messages in your compiled listing?
for example when you code a File description in the cobolII programs and do not code recording mode in your "FD" section you will get warning message and consequently get return code of 4 for your compile step.
Usually the listing output will give you complete information about the messages.

Hi
I think u r getting that MAXCC=4 because of sequence error in the compilation step. So don't worry. GO ahead and execute the program
In that step u can get MAXCC=0 if everything is fine

Hi,

Cobol is a very descriptive language, it expects File Definitions and record layout for each and every file it is accessing.

In case of Batch programs we usually get MAXCC = 0 , but there may be certain cases were we miss the FD, mode of accessing...

During these cases we encounter return code of 4.

For these you have to check the SYSMSG for the warnings.

Hi,

I think he is speaking about the Sequence number in the program, The sequence may change during insertion or deletion of the lines it may result in a mismatch.

Correct me if i am wrong

hi,
this is sreenivas,
this error occurs due to not coding of recording mode in fd(file description)
even if we don't code the recording mode we will get the maxcc=0
so no problem
bye
