Just got back to my COBOL /UNIX experiment.

Don't know if your still around or not but here is what I am getting now.

It's almost like my editor (text pad) is putting something at the end of any line I edit that the compiler does not like. Does that sound right?

Anyway, here is where I am having the problem.

HTML Code:

I wrapped with HTML tags. It says column 28 on the PROCEDURE DIVISION line. That column is the one right after the period.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

OK, I figured that out - in Textpad I turned on "view visible spaces' and there were spaces or line feed tags in the beginning of the line throwing the compiler off. So this is fixed.

Now, I am still getting a return code of 8 at the beginning of the listing:


HTML Code:
1PP 5724-H44 IBM COBOL for AIX                       2.0.0                Date 08/02/2006  Time 12:08:32   Page     1                
0PROCESS(CBL) statements:
        PROCESS  OPTIONS.                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                     
         IGYOS4003-E   Invalid option "OPTIONS." was found and discarded.

My command to compile is

Code:
cob2 comprc_ok=8 /home/test/clients/ABE/abeprep.cbl

Supposedly, this will allow for a rc of 8 - it had in the past but now I just get a abeprep.o file as output and not the a.out file that I used to execute prior.

Thanks in advance.

OK, FIXED IT. There was a line at the beginning of my source code

Code:
PROCESS  OPTIONS.

Not sure where it came from.

Thanks for letting me babble.
