Hi Lasse,

You *CAN* use the coprocessor when compiling an EXCI program.  I am
specifying these compiler options on line 1 of my COBOL program:

PROCESS NODYNAM,RENT,CICS('EXCI')

Peter

Yes, but it is of little use if you are stuck using the DB2 and/or CICS 
preprocessor utilities (instead of the coprocessor facilities in the compiler) 
and use EXEC SQL and/or EXEC CICS  statements in COPY members extensively.  All 
COPY members containing EXEC SQL / CICS must be pre-resolved before the 
preprocessor utility reads the source to be translated.

All of which is a really good argument to use the coprocessor facilities, but

Peter,

You can use XREF(FULL)  compiler option

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cobol-zos/6.3?topic=options-xref

and here is an example of the output

I encountered that problem/circumvention with Rexx SYSEXEC.  Support
says DSORG=PO is required.  Alas, JCL makes DSORG mutex with PATH.

HLASM SYSLIB works well after IBM fixed a couple APARS for nested
COPYs in a mixed PDS/UNIX SYSLIB concatenation,

And similar problem/circumvention with AMATERSE UNPACK SYSUT1.

When I report such problems, Support tends to say, "That needs to be a
data set."  They are unmoved when I read them the definition from
"Using Data Sets".

My shop uses Enterprise COBOL 6.2 and that information appears in the

Re: COBOL compiler option to list libraries from which COPY members were loaded?

2021-09-05 Thread Farley, Peter x23353
"If the member is any PDSE member, the information should be available from 
FAMS."

Or from DESERV for programmers whose company has not signed the NDA and paid 
the license fee to get FAMS documentation.

And since DESERV FUNC=GET requires only an open BPAM DCB which can be for a DD 
concatenation which may include Unix directories, I would hope that at least 
some of the same information would also be available (at least modify time, 
though probably not many of the other ISPF statistics) for Unix files used as 
copy members.

I know you have pointed out several flaws in that support already like needing 
at least one (possibly empty) PDS/E in the concatenation ahead of the Unix 
directories.

I think I will write my own test of that DESERV functionality just to see where 
the bumps in the road are.

I don't believe HLASM shows that information either.  It would be useful.

If the  PDS/PDSE member was edited with ISPF, the information should be 
available from ISPF stats.

If the member is a UNIX file, the informattion should be available from tne 
file timestamp.

If the member is any PDSE member, the information should be available from FAMS.

Perhaps an RFE should request an API to extract such information independent of 
ISPF for each of those cases.

I think it does unless that info was dropped since I wrote ASYSLIB and pointed 
out the data display was wrong, as in wrong PDS. ASYSLIB changed the 
concatenation via changing the DDNAME being used. 

That was back about 1996 or so.

COBOL compiler option to list libraries from which COPY members were loaded?

2021-09-05 Thread Farley, Peter x23353
I was looking around at listings from multiple incarnations of COBOL compilers 
and did not find any which listed the libraries from which copy members were 
loaded, as HLASM does for macros and copy members.

Has there ever been such a compiler option?

If not I suspect an RFE is in order.  Business justification: Needed as an aid 
to verification that the most recent COPY members were used during compilation 
as part of SDLC promotion process to QA/UAT/production status.  Bonus points 
for listing the date/time of the member in each library (if available) as part 
of the compile listing.
