Actually Bill, the TRUNC option only apply for programs using MOVE or IF including literals.
So a MOVE 32767 to OsParms-Length or IF OsParms-Length > 10000 might fail depending on the TRUNC option in this case. As the OsParm-length is currently limited to 100 bytes it will never fail regardless of the Cobol options or defintions like COMP-5. If IBM (Peter Relson) change the PARM stuff beyond the 9999 it might be an issue for our cobol programs. However I don't belive anyone will ever code a PARM longer then 256 or perhaps 512 bytes. CTS V3 refuse to expand the DfhCommarea because of this and I agree a DfhCommarea of 100 KB will cause more trouble in case of mapping the area. Same apply to a PARM with 256 and more up to 32767 Bytes. Does it make sense??

Mai 2005 02:11 An: [email protected] Betreff: Fw: PARM= Actually Roland, Programs written that way MAY fail with parms longer than 9999 (depending upon TRUNC setting). I have made a number of RCF's suggesting that code samples "like this" should change from COMP to COMP-5. Have you seen how the current IBM documentation shows this technique?
