Hi,

I had coded the 'COPY MEMBER' command in the OS COBOL program. When I compiled, that member is not getting expanded. Can someone tell me , does this cobol version will support this feature..?

Thanks
Anand

Hi Anand,
You need to include the LIB option in the compile step. Also the library where the copybook resides must be included in the SYSLIB DD statement.
Regards,
Robert

Thanks for your response..

ACtually problem lies inthe block size of my copylib pds. I had changed the blocksize of that from 27920 to 11760. Any idea, why it is not allowing the more block size. Is it system dependant parameter or something cobol version dependant..

Thanks

Anand,

Are you concating multiple copylibs to DD name SYSLIB? Some of the older operating systems require the dataset with bigger blocksize be the first dataset in the concatenation list. The new operating system(z/OS) this restriction is lifted.

Hope this helps...

cheers

I think it's more likely to be an OS/VS COBOL restriction. Both this and old PL/1 compilers have blocksize restrictions for SYSLIB. Current versions do not have these limits.
