We are setting up our application in new AIX 7.3 server with Visual Cobol Devhub 7.0 - Patch Update 18. and we are getting below error when compiling a cobol program. The program/compilation script does not have reference to xlc  so not able to understand why the below error is getting displayed. The module is getting compiled without any program errors and when creating .o file, the error is displayed. Kindly help to resolve the issue

Please let us know for any further information.
