More details....

Hello Pedro:

Please show us the output of these commands:

as -V

cobmode

cob -vD -x tictac.cbl

as -V shows the version of the system assembler.

cobmode shows the current active mode for the COBOL system: 32 or 64

The -vD option will make cob more verbose and tell us what cob is doing behind the scenes.

Dear  Dan,

Dera Dan,

Path were As is  in our Sun Solaris :

/usr/lib/gnome-private/share/locale/as
/usr/ccs/bin/as
/usr/sfw/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.3/as
/usr/sfw/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/as
/.SUNWnative/usr/bin/as
/.SUNWnative/usr/share/locale/as

Many Thaks,

PJM

I recommend /usr/ccs/bin/as

Put /usr/ccs/bin early on PATH and try again to compile

Dear Dan,

 I Try to do this in any way and no work. Please see my profile maybe something is wrong...

MAIL=/usr/mail/${LOGNAME:?}
# variables de ambiente
COBDIR=/opt/microfocus/cobol
AS=usr/ccs/bin/as:$PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=$COBDIR/bin,/usr/ccs/bin/as:$PATH
export COBDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH AS PATH

Your PATH appears to have a "," in it instead of ":"

Dear Chris,

I corrected it and give the same result...

MAIL=/usr/mail/${LOGNAME:?}

# variables de ambiente

COBDIR=/opt/microfocus/cobol

AS=usr/ccs/bin/as:$PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$COBDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

PATH=/$COBDIR/bin:$PATH

export COBDIR LD_LIBRARY_PATH AS PATH

Hello Pedro:

Do not set:

AS=usr/ccs/bin/as:$PATH

instead set:

PATH=/usr/ccs/bin:$PATH

that is, put /usr/ccs/bin early on PATH so the assembler "as" can be found.

Afterwords, verify that "as" can be found by entering:

type as

You could see a result like this:

as is /usr/ccs/bin/as
