Problem:

Using the command:

p(cobsql) CSQLT=ORACLE8 KEEPCBL P(CP) SY ENDP

produces the following errors

cob64: error(s) in compilation: COSP318.cbl

Resolution:

The problem here is that these are varibales defined with copy files and these variables are not being properly processed.

The CP preprocessor muxt be invoked using lower-case so the right command is

p(cobsql) CSQLT=ORACLE8 KEEPCBL P(cp) SY ENDP
