Warning COBCH1068 OO: Class name gadget missing in SPECIAL-NAMES - assumed.

Compiling a program with visual Cobol 5.0, i become the warning in the subject.

What is missing in Special names?

Who can help?

Thanks

The documentation I cited says a common cause of this error is the omission of the "type" keyword in an inherit statement.

Your code has an inherit statement ("inherits from gadget with data"). It does not have the "type" keyword.

That suggests it should be:

inherits from type gadget with data.

I don't know whether that's actually the issue. This appears to be native OO COBOL, which I have very little experience with, and which is different from managed OO COBOL in a number of ways.
