Using the coprocessor is NOT exactly the same as running the preprocessor and then the compiler. As far as I know, there have been NO reports of "different run-time" results from the two, but there are things that using the coprocessor can do that the preprocessor can't (see the Programming Guide for details) e.g. http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/IGY3PG40/3.1.2.2
I would, however, check you LISTINGS to make certain that all the "Options in Effect" are the same with the two methods. It is possible that one of your compiler procs has different settings and this COULD impact run-time results. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > In our shop, for CICS COBOL programs, we run the preprocessor > DFHECP1$, then > the compile step IGYCRCTL. > I thought of bypassing the DFHECP1$ step by running the IGYCRCTL with > 'CICS' in > the parm. > > That was fine. > > Except, a co-worker pointed out to me that the generated object code > differs, > and, as such, is apprehensive. > > Does anyone know why that is? > > > Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
