There have been previous requests for COBOL to have the same type of DD that PL/I has had for years (and that LE has recently introduced) to avoid this. However, there certainly is none right now.
Steve has given a couple of answers, and using a CBL (Process) card (that you can concatenate with your source code) is one way. HOWEVER, I would suggest that you also look at the programming guide for what the "smallest" abbreviation is for each compiler option. I have rarely seen sites use the minimum for each option. If you need to find them, check out: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3PG31/CCONTENT S "Nuttall, Peter [CCC-OT_IT]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > Hi All, > > Enterprise COBOL compiler v3.4. > > Am pretty sure someone else must have hit this.
