If so, have you figured out how to specify a PDS as an "include" or
"copybook"source? The documentation for this command basically stinks.
There is an -I switch. But it apparently only accepts UNIX path specifications.
The ld command (binder) accepts a PDS name via -L "//pds.name". The as command
(HLASM) and C compilers accept a -I "//pds.name". I may end up writing my own
version of the "cob2" command, if I really decide that I want to compile COBOL
from the UNIX shell. I'll likely model it after the as command.
Yes. I discuss this command in our course "Developing Applications for
z/OS UNIX". But you're right, the doc is very poor. The assumption seems
to be that copy books must be in HFS directories and my experiments
produce error messages that would support that.
In a way, that's too bad. OTOH, I, too, was assuming that copy books
would reside in HFS directories so I had never tried to access copy
books as members of a PDS before.
You would think that if you used the classic clue that a library was
a PDS/E, the compiler could figure it out. Maybe:
export SYSLIB="//'SCOMSTO.U520.LIBRARY'"
which I tried, and the message from the compile comes back:
LineID Message code Library phase message text
24 IGYLI0049-S The "COPY" library "SCOMSTO.U520.LIBRARY/APODEFS" was not
found. Skipped to the period terminating the "COPY"
statement.
so it was pretty clearly expecting (nay: requiring) a z/OS UNIX
file, not a PDS.
I'm copying this over to ibm-main, too, as Tom Ross occasionally
follows that group so maybe he will chime in with some info.
