28 More than one MAIN specified. MAIN is still

name

Although the source code can contain more than one MAIN procedure, in the object

code only the first MAIN procedure the compiler sees retains the MAIN attribute.

If the program contains any COBOL or COBOL85 program units, the MAIN procedure

must be written in COBOL or COBOL85, respectively. For more information, see the

COBOL85 Reference Manual.

29 One or more illegal attributes

Incorrect attributes appear in a subprocedure declaration, which can have only the

VARIABLE attribute. The compiler ignores all attributes but VARIABLE.

32 RETURN not encountered in typed PROC or SUBPROC

A RETURN statement is missing from a function or the RP counter of the compiler is 7

(empty register stack). To return a value from the function, include at least one

RETURN statement with an expression; this action automatically places the value on

the register stack. You can alternatively use a CODE or STACK statement to place the

value on the register stack; however, this practice might be compatible only with TNS

systems.

33 Redefinition size conflict

In a structure declaration, a variable redefinition appears in which the new item is

larger than the previously declared item. If your program is adversely affected,

correct the variable redefinition so that the new item is the same size or shorter than

the previous item.

34 Redefinition offset conflict

In a structure declaration, a variable redefinition appears in which the new item

requires word alignment, while the previously declared item has an odd-byte

alignment. If your program is adversely affected, correct the variable redefinition so

that the new item and the previous item are both word aligned or both byte aligned.
