Thanks, Peter. I didn't know about SIGYPROC and will look there! Seems weird to me that they keep adding SYSUTxx requirements. They've gone from 7 to 15 since whatever COBOL we were using on 2.4!
This is a straight question based on my ignorance: why DO we need all those? Since they seem to be all ephemeral, why can't they allocate them dynamically? Keep in mind that I barely know how to ask this question, so it's probably dumb. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Farley, Peter Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2025 12:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Would you consider this a compiler bug? You should look at the delivered sample PROC’s in <hlq>.SIGYPROC to help you configure your local compile procedure. You would have seen the correct SYSMDECK DD specification there. That said, I agree with you – redirecting SYSMDECK to SYSOUT should NOT cause a COBOL compiler failure. I would call that an aparable defect. It's a shame you can’t report it. Maybe someone with a "real" IBM customer number will do it for the good of all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
