You should look at the delivered sample PROC’s in <hlq>.SIGYPROC to help you configure your local compile procedure. You would have seen the correct SYSMDECK DD specification there.
That said, I agree with you – redirecting SYSMDECK to SYSOUT should NOT cause a COBOL compiler failure. I would call that an aparable defect. It's a shame you can’t report it. Maybe someone with a "real" IBM customer number will do it for the good of all. Peter From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Phil Smith III Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2025 12:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Would you consider this a compiler bug? some test programs to run on z/OS 3.1 with 5655-EC6 IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 6.4.0. First I had to add a bunch more SYSUTnn, and then the compile was still failing with: IGYCB7104-U Internal error while compiling program __COMPUNITsinit. Failed assertion on ../../ibm/env/ListingAgent.cpp:6191. Compilation terminated. (my program is NOT named COMPUNITSinit or ListingAgent, in case that's not obvious.) After much tinkering, I found that it didn't like //SYSMDECK DD SYSOUT=* Changing that to //SYSMDECK DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)) made it happy. Seems like I shouldn't be able to cause an internal compiler error that trivially, no? Alas, we don't have a "real" IBM customer number, so I can't report this normally. Just wondered if I was missing something obvious about this. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
