Hello everyone. COBOL 6.1 introduced a "feature" where VALUE clauses that are used for initialization are flagged as errors. Ever since I began using COBL in the seventies, this would be treated as a warning. Personally, I consider it bad form, but the compiler happily marched on. We have a number of COPYBOOKs that are occasionally used in LINKAGE, and these items have raised issues during recompiles. Nothing terrible, but still a bump in the development road.
Are there any new features like this in COBOL 6.2? Thanks, .......Cameron On Thu, Jul 20, 2017 at 8:33 AM, Tim Deller <[email protected]> wrote: > "Conditional complication"? > Sounds about right... > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
