 Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2007 2:56 am Post subject: same Element Variable defined twice |
 |
|
| Code: | ID DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. TEST2.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 WS-AML.
05 PIC XX.
05 PIC XX.
05 ACCT-GRP OCCURS 4 TIMES.
10 ACCT-TYPE-C PIC X.
05 SDA-GRP.
10 ACCT-GRP OCCURS 4 TIMES.
15 ACCT-TYPE-C PIC X.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MAIN-PARA.
MOVE SPACES TO ACCT-TYPE-C OF SDA-GRP(1).
MOVE SPACES TO ACCT-TYPE-C OF WS-AML(1).
STOP RUN. |
The Mention Variable is production Copybook variable. I don't want to change anything in that copybook.
In Production non of the program is using this variale ACCT-TYPE-C. that's why i am not getting any issues in Production.
But now we got a New initiative to move some values to this variable ACCT-TYPE-C
The above code i am getting error saying that "ACCT-TYPE-C OF WS-AML" was not a uniquely defined name"
Please help me out how to resolve this issue without changing copybook |

nbdtrjk1,
You would need to change the name of one of the occurrences in the program. |

try
| Code: |
05 any-new-name.
10 ACCT-GRP OCCURS 4 TIMES.
15 ACCT-TYPE-C PIC X.
05 SDA-GRP.
10 ACCT-GRP OCCURS 4 TIMES.
15 ACCT-TYPE-C PIC X.
|
then your qualification would be
in acct-grp in sda-grp
and
in acct-grp in any-new-name in
essentially, you need to insure duplicate reference names are of the same level.

Highlighted one is a copybook variable. I don't want to change the Copybook. My question is without changing the copybook how to acheive the task? |

AFAIK there seems to be no way to this without changing the copybook.
But out of the box, hope there should be some solution...

1. I fail to see a 'highlighted' one.
2. If the copybook is designed poorly, change-it.
3. If what you have added is causing a problem, change what you added.

nbdtrjk1,
First of all let me know why do you want to achieve without changing the copy book. |

You can't use qualification to make the reference to the ACCT-TYPE-C variable unique for the first item defined. As you've seen, the compiler cannot resolve the ACCT-TYPE-C OF WS-AML reference to a single variable because there are 2 variables that satisfy that qualificaion.
| Code: | | Duplication of data-names must not occur in those places where the data-name cannot be made unique by qualification. |
The only thing I can think of to get around this without changing the copybook(s), is to redefine the area so that you can reference the first instance of ACCT-TYPE-C using a unique name. You could use the same variable names in the redefined area and qualify those if that makes more sense for your program. The problem is that you'll need to use this technique in all the programs that you now want to reference this field. This is a short term solution. The better long term solution has already been posted by dbzTHEdinosaur.
| Code: |
01 WS-AML.
05 PIC XX.
05 PIC XX.
05 ACCT-GRP OCCURS 4 TIMES.
10 ACCT-TYPE-C PIC X.
05 SDA-GRP.
10 ACCT-GRP OCCURS 4 TIMES.
15 ACCT-TYPE-C PIC X.
01 NEW-WS-AML REDEFINES WS-AML.
05 PIC X(04).
05 NEW-ACCT-GRP OCCURS 4 TIMES.
10 NEW-ACCT-TYPE-C PIC X.
05 PIC X(04).
MOVE SPACES TO ACCT-TYPE-C OF SDA-GRP (1)
MOVE SPACES TO NEW-ACCT-TYPE-C (1)
