[archive] New precompiler errors

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 19 August 2008]

Hi,
We're running AcuCobol 8.0 on a HP-UX 11.x system. Since we moved to our new hardware our COBOL program that was built in AcuBench won't compile.

The Error:
01 Screen1-Tb-1.
.......1
PCB-S-00400, Encountered the symbol "COBOL_DECLARATION" when expecting one of the following:

PROCEDURE_DIVISION REPLACE_STATEMENT COPY_STATEMENT
EXEC_ORACLE_OPTION EXEC_ORACLE_IFDEF EXEC_ORACLE_DEFINE
DECLARATIVE_SQL_STATEMENT/DIRECTIVE
EXEC_SQL_INCLUDE_DIRECTIVE

PCB-I-0556: Unrecoverable error. Fix previous errors and re-precompile


procob command:
procob MODE=ANSI CLOSE_ON_COMMIT=NO


Any ideas?

Thanks.

I think we'll need some more information. Can you post a sample program that is not compiling with ProCobol?

Do you use SPECIAL-NAMES.
DECIMAL-POINT IS COMMA

AcuBench will usually make a COBOL program with many copybooks, have you genereated a single COBOL program without copybooks and see if that precompiles?

Thanks for the reply.

I don't use SPECIAL-NAMES or DECIMAL-POINT IS COMA, and I've compiled over 200 programs that were not created by AcuBench without a problem.

The Error:
Error at line 831, column 8 in file grb005.cbl
01 Screen1-Tb-1.
