Problem:

was trying to generate clients and gets compile problems

when doing a generte web service client - the generation recompiles the program -

Resolution:

The problem here was that the project is a mainframe migration project using pcommain that was

setting mainframe dialect(entcobol)  -

It may compile clean when just compiling from the project window - because it does not

know you are going to make a web service from it.

when generating a client from the Open Services Interface window it recompiles the program

this is where it will not accept the mainframe dialects.

Web Services cannot use entcobol -

2 options:

create a separate project for programs that will be web services and do not use pcommain

-or-

find the programname.dir and place a &space at the beginning of the line for directves not to be used (making the directive comments) - so it will not be used
