Message List
36 (Warning or Error)
Cause. Warning: A COBOL reserved word is the text-name or library-name in a
COPY statement.
Error: A COBOL reserved word is in an improper context. Usually this message
reports the use of a noncritical reserved word (one defined in an unsupported language
module) as a user-defined word.
37 (Error)
Cause. A PICTURE character-string is specified as a nonnumeric literal.
38 (Warning)
Cause. One of:
•
A comma, semicolon, or period character is not followed by the space needed to
make it a separator.
•
A character-string is not followed by an appropriate separator.
39 (Warning, Error or Failure)
Cause. Warning: The run unit file name (object file name) field in the command that
called the compiler has improper punctuation or its content does not have the form of a
disk file name. The compiler supplies RUNUNIT (with appropriate default volume and
subvolume components) as the run unit file name.
Error: A system-name is in a context where it must identify an actual file (for example,
in a File-Mnemonic clause), but it does not have the form of an actual file name.
Failure: A COPY or SOURCE file does not have the form of a disk file name.
Improper use of reserved word
Do not quote PICTURE string
Missing separator
Improper actual file name
