Hi,

I am new in this forum and I am a beginner in MF-Cobol on Linux.

I have no exerpiences with the OS linux.

I have a question for the comiler directives.
Where do I set this compiler directives?

Is this a command for a cobol-source or a for the compiler-jcl?

I don't find an example for setting the directives in the documentation.

Thanks for help

Michel

    You don't say what product or version number you are using so I am assuming it is Server Express on Linux,

    Directives can be set using several different methods.

    You can set them in a directives file like cobol.dir or on the cob command line or directly within a source file itself using the $SET statement.

    Please see the Server Express 5.1 documentation covering directives here:

    Thanks.

    Hi, thank for your answer.

    The documentation link doesn´t work.

    We are using Server Express 5.1 on SUSE Linux.

    This is our Compiler-call:

    cob64 -u   ${PROG}.cbl  

    How can I add the FOLDCOPYNAME"LOWER" Parameter to the Compiler-call?

    Thanks

    Michel

    Please try the following link instead:

    http://supportline.microfocus.com/documentation/books/sx51/cycomp.htm

    Scroll down to the section marked Directives.

    For your example something like the following would work:

     

    cob64 -C FOLDCOPYNAME=LOWER ${PROG}.cbl

    I try this:

    cob64 -u -C FOLDCOPYNAME=LOWER lvb00901.cbl

    and this:

    cob64 -C FOLDCOPYNAME=LOWER lvb00901.cbl

    but the error "Unknown COPY file R00094PA speicified" always occured.

    The Copybook  exist:

    EP37 /home/koerner/copylib>ls

    ls

    ls -N --color=tty -T 0

    r00094pa.cpy

    Here are my Tests:

    Test 1 with -u

    Content of the variable COBCPY:

    /home/koerner/copylib:/home/os/std/copylib:/home/os/std/copylib_osd:/home/os/std/copylib_azur

    cob64 -u -C FOLDCOPYNAME=LOWER lvb00901.cbl

      141     COPY  R00094PA.

    *   8-S*******************                                                   **

    **    Unknown COPY file R00094PA specified

    Test 2 without -u:

    Content of the variable COBCPY:

    /home/koerner/copylib:/home/os/std/copylib:/home/os/std/copylib_osd:/home/os/std/copylib_azur

    cob64 -C FOLDCOPYNAME=LOWER lvb00901.cbl

      141     COPY  R00094PA.

    *   8-S*******************                                                   **

    **    Unknown COPY file R00094PA specified

    We tested this here using  the following:

    Linux susea 2.6.16.46-0.7-default #1 SMP Mon Apr 23 16:13:18 UTC 2007 s390x s390x s390x

    cobol v5.1.00

    PTI=WrapPack 6

    and we can not reproduce the problem. We tried the following test and also moved the copybook to a different folder and used COBCPY as you have and it worked fine here.

    It would probablly be best to open up a support incident with customer care in order to pursue this furthur.

    $ ls

    lvb00901.cbl  r00094pa.cpy

    $ cat lvb00901.cbl

           display "now in lvb00901.cbl".

           COPY R00094PA.

    $ cat r00094pa.cpy

           display "now in r00094pa.cpy".

    $ cob -u -C FOLDCOPYNAME=LOWER lvb00901.cbl

     [compiles with no error]

    $ cobrun lvb00901

    now in lvb00901.cbl

    now in r00094pa.cpy

    Hi Chris,

    in the jcl the cobol-compiler was executed several times.

    I overlook one call. There was the parameter "FOLDCOPYNAME=LOWER " missing.

    The parameter works fine.
