I was going through this same process a while back. At that time I decided that batch compiles with the XL C/C++ compiler just don't work as documented. The best you can do is find something that works and not try and rationalize it with what the doc says.
One thing I remember from that exercise is that the compiler reacts differently in the use of the SEARCH and LSEARCH options if you first reset them before setting them to the value you want. I ended up with this in my OPT file to get it to work: NOSEARCH SEARCH(/USR/LPP/CBCLIB/INCLUDE/) NOLSEARCH LSEARCH(/USR/LPP/CBCLIB/INCLUDE/) I'm not sure this was the total solution to my problems but I remember it made things better.

I tried pointing the SYSLIB DD to this directory. I also tried the SEARCH option. I have been successful with using the UNIX xlc command but this has other complications. Any help is appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
