I don't understand your comment. As previously indicated the FLAG(I,I) option became the default at the same time as DBCS. Therefore, the compiler error message WILL appear in the listing IMMEDIATELY after the line inserted by the translator (indicating the column in that line with the

Sorry to disagree on this one (again), but the error message tells you exactly WHERE (what line and what column in that line) has the problem. a VERY simple search of either the COBOL LRM or APG for the term shift-in will tell you what this means and again, a search of the manual SHOULD take you

If you didn't upgrade your COBOL as well as z/OS, then I would be REALLY surprised in this change occurring. The COBOL documentation talks about the change from NODBCS to DBCS as the default compiler option - in newer releases of Enterprise COBOL. There should ALSO be a change from FLAG(I) to
