Understanding Error Messages
in [Cobol]

From: William M. Klein on 7 May 2008 04:54 Everyone has asked for you to show the LISTING with the problems under MVS. You don't ever show it. My guess (and everyone else's) is that you have your code in the wrong columns. (Starting in column 1 might work on a PC - but will NEVER work on the mainframe). If you would just do as you have been asked, you MIGHT get a useful reply. If you don't know HOW to get the listing (with source code and error messages) on MVS, then ask someone at the site that gave you JCL to compile there. However, as I say, I think your source code just starts in the wrong column and you have never answered any of us who have suggested that this is the problem. -- Bill Klein wmklein <at> ix.netcom.com "amir" <ahsharif(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:9d89bc65-3acd-4417-ba91-7c5f990bcb0c(a)e39g2000hsf.googlegroups.com... >I tried to run my first program under MVS as I said before. > > I tried a sample code as I told before.

You are trying to learn a moderately intricate platform and software tools, something that is not usually done in the stillness of a small, dark room. Is there a reason you know of that your boss has not said to one of his MVS-qualified workers 'sit down with this fellow and show him the basics'? There may be better ways to make use of study-time.

I could not cut and paste it. maybe some special characters, I don't know. If you specify what peace of code is necessary to help, I will type it again if needed.

Maybe some special configuration like code page maybe did not seted up in the right manner, I think.

[snip] >someone told me about working with the editor and I do it, right now. Once again, with detail: an MVS environment is complex and the data passing throught it are usually worth Big Money to someone. Is there a reason you know of that your your boss has not told someone 'sit down with this fellow and show him the basics'? (if you are trying to learn this on your own time so you can, as the correspondence-schools used to advertise on matchbooks, 'Be A Computer Programmer And Make Big Money!'... the limits of your knowledge may be exposed very, very quickly) DD |
