Hello,

While converting the RM to VISUAL COBOL During compilation I am getting errors.

These are for the set of DATE COBOL Modules 

Here are the code error where VISUAL COBOL 

01  DATE-FMT-OUT                 PIC XX.

And in the above example this flag when we move C to DATE-FMT-OUT whereas not flagging when we move F to the same variable 

the above are the distinct errors. All these programs compiled successfully in RM not in Visual cobol.

Please advise How to Proceed further.

Thanks Verymuch.

You could try using the extra directive QUOTE

I cannot replicate the problem here. Even with APOST set I don't receive the errors.

On what product version and Patch Update level are you running?
On which OS and version?

You might check the source with a hex editor to see if there are any non-printable characters on those source lines.

I can not reproduce the problem with my sample sources. I would highly recommend that you open up a Support Case with Customer Care so they can take a proper look at the problem. You will most likely have to provide one of your source programs to us so that we can try to reproduce the problem in-house.

Thanks
