This book contains a list of the error messages which you can receive in the following phases of program development:
Also, it has a list of the file status codes produced under ANSI'74 and ANSI'85, and lists the implementation limits for SAA, OSVS and VSC2.
For each error there is a brief descriptions on the possible cause, and, where possible, hints on how you can rectify the problem.
This manual is for all users of Micro Focus COBOL systems. The detailed descriptions and recovery hits for each message are probably of most use to users who have little experience of COBOL programming.
MERANT was formed by combining Micro Focus and INTERSOLV. All reference to the companies Micro Focus or INTERSOLV in this book should now be taken to mean MERANT. Micro Focus is retained as the family name for the Micro Focus product set produced by MERANT.
