COBOL II/XL Compiler Messages
This section lists the messages you may encounter when compiling programs
that have been converted to COBOL II/XL.
8 MESSAGE CALL <intrinsic_name> assumed to be CALL INTRINSIC.
CAUSE The program contains a CALL statement for the named
intrinsic, but you did not include the word INTRINSIC in the
statement. Since you specified the CALLINTRINSIC option of
the $CONTROL subsystem command and the compiler found that
the procedure is an intrinsic, it is incorporated into the
program.
ACTION Include the word INTRINSIC in CALL statements where
appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
272 MESSAGE INTRINSIC RETURN VALUE MISMATCH.
CAUSE A CALL INTRINSIC ".LOC." has a GIVING data item that is
described as PIC S9(4) COMP.
ACTION Change the GIVING data item to either PIC S9(9) COMP or PIC
S9(18) COMP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
282 MESSAGE INVALID SUBSYSTEM COMMAND PARAMETER.
CAUSE Your program included a $CONTROL option that is not valid
for COBOL II/XL programs. ANSIPARM, BIGSTACK, and SORTSPACE
are $CONTROL options that are no longer valid.
ACTION Although including an invalid option will not stop your
program from compiling, you should remove any invalid
options to resolve the error messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
389 MESSAGE Parameter <identifier> is not aligned properly.
CAUSE A parameter passed to a subprogram or intrinsic is not on a
32-bit (or 16-bit) boundary although the compiler expects it
to be.
ACTION Add the SYNC clause to the data description of the
identifier mentioned in the error message.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
421 MESSAGE OPERAND <identifier> HAS ILLEGAL FORMAT FOR STATEMENT.
CAUSE A CALL <identifier> statement has a numeric identifier.
ACTION Change the CALL statement so it calls the name of the
appropriate subprogram rather than its plabel.
