Could someone please help.

I am getting below Warning. Seems this would be an Issue. When I compile this same program in RM It doesn't give this warning.

    HI Team,

    Hi,

    Is the warning a valid message, in that you are defining multiple records for the file and one is smaller than 6 bytes?
    Are you using the DIALECT"RM" directive so that the compiler will provide a higher level of compatibility with RM COBOL?

    It could also be that RM is set to only report errors and not warnings and under MF you have report warnings turned on. This is the default when working within the IDE's. You can change this setting on the project properties pages on the COBOL dialog so that warnings are not displayed, if this is the case.
