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 doesnĀ“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*******************                                                   **

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.
