Re: Why does Enterprise COBOL V4.1 optimization complain about a PERFORM loop?

Performing a paragraph does not require an exit point, one is generated automatically. Same holds true if you perform a SECTION. However, your perform is branching to an EXIT statement which, in effect, is trying to short-circuit the PARA-1 when ws-sub is less than 6. I would suggest taking out

Thanks John, You answered my question by your example. Unfortunately, it has opened a second problem with the use of compounds symbols. However, I will not ask it here, but will attempt to get signed up with the assembler list and ask it there. C- -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe

Itshalk, How is your need with respect to examining this table using REXX? Could you do something like a DUMPT and then read the output and process it that way? Does it have ADCONs in it that need to be resolved? (For instance, chained entries?) I have done similar things like this in both REXX

If you are issuing the TSOLIB command prior to invoking ISPF, are you doing this in a logon exec? If so, try removing the start of ISPF and letting your TSO session get back to the READY prompt. Once you get the READY prompt, then invoke ISPF manually. I had this problem at another shop and

I don't know if it will work, but try SETting your path to a variable and then use that variable in the PATH= parameter: // SET MYPATH='long/path/name' //MYDDNAME DD PATH='MYPATH' C- Charles (Chuck) Hardee Senior Systems Engineer Database Administration Information Technology Services Thermo

Couple of questions. First, did you link your program as reentrant? If so, it isn't. SAVEAREA is in your assembled CSECT. Second, what release of z/OS are you on? I don't recall which release it was, but if REFPROT is ON, then regardless of whether the program comes from an authorized library
