I believe that all COBOL modules in a run unit should all be compiled with very similar compiler and binder options. Generally you may use most any compiler version, but the COBOL runtimes have to be the latest and greatest LE.
I would also observe that 'unpredictable results' could very well include seemingly successful tests. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Logan Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2009 6:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: IMS..IMS..Gotta love IMS. Why is my PCB failing? Just to provide an interesting update on this: It appears that the engineers are compiling these COBOL programs in some odd way. When I compile them, they work. I wonder if it could be that they are compiling them on a different platform. I know they like to compile their stuff on z/OS 1.4 still (and all of our IMS testing has been done on z/OS 1.8) Anyway, that's the update. No coding error, it's somehow environmental. Thanks again to those who gave me the tips to speed up my productivity! -----Original Message----- From: David Logan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 6:58 AM To: 'IBM Mainframe Discussion List' Subject: RE: IMS..IMS..Gotta love IMS. Why is my PCB failing? OK, that was all I needed, thanks. I put displays in around everything that even touched the PCB, and I found the program that was horking it up.
