Hi,
Has anybody tried/use the "Inline COBOL Error Display Utility". I read the following article and wanted to give it a shot, but unable to. Though the information is provided I am not familiar with setting up the panel & Rexx. Any thoughts/suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

SureshKumar,

Twice I had to restart my IE upon clicking the link. Does any one have the same problem?

Sureshkumar,

I just tried it. It is good. I only tried with the rexx exec. I did not use the panels.

1. Copy the rexx exec to your rexx/clist pds
2. compile a sample pgm
3. Take the jobname and Job id
4. now type SHOWMSG JOBNAME JOBID at the command prompt in the edit mode of your compiled program

It shows the errors ! good Tool !

Hope this helps...

Cheers

kolusu

It also worked good for me. One fix I had to make was that the original source code's "not equal to" characters did not translate properly during the upload, so I changed them from the original "

SureshKumar, the code is written in REXX, so the first line of your SHOWMSG code should look something like this:
Code:

/* REXX SHOWMSG                                                         
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
      Syntax :                                                         
                Usage :  SHOWMSG <jobname> <jobid>                       
                OR                                                     
                Usage :  SHOWMSG <joblog dataset name>                   
                OR                                                     
                Usage :  SHOWMSG setup                                   
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lost focus, was was looking at other possibilities without doing the basic checks.

hehe... people are still writing that program Confused I think everyone writes an inline error message viewer at some point in their life with edit macros Razz I've always seen the macro do the compiles directly but this approach will work too. I was a little surpise that the screen shots have HILITE OFF.

Just for laughs, here is a basic version of the same function in a short macro. It does the compile and sets ==ERR> flags so you can use L ERR or &L ERR to locate errors. It allows you to test changes without saving them, but it does not filter out message types or do much error checking both of which are easy, but this is just a personal macro. Simple, but effective
Code:
/* Rexx - Insert COBOL error messages in source.                    */
/*        Also set ==ERR> flags so you can locate errors with the   */
/*        standard L ERR command.                                   */
/*        Errors in copybooks are placed at the copy statment.      */
/*        This requires access to the COBOL compiler and optionally */
/*        to the CICS precompiler modules.  If they are not in      */
/*        LPA or LNKLST, then allocate them to ISPLLIB.             */
/*        Designed for use with IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS       */
/*------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*  Customization: allocate libraries as needed for the compiler.   */
/*                 set compile parms as needed                      */

Thanks for all your comments on this tool. The main intent of this tool is to save time for compile error correction. I also intend to use to display all warnings so that I don't ignore truncation, remove unreachable code etc.

It shows the errors ! good Tool !


Thanks Kolusu! It was quite inspiring!

If any of you need any additional information, feel free to contact us thru the mail ID's provided in the article.

Sriram.

The message "SYSTEM ABEND CODE B37" says its a space problem. To solve this and make the tool work, there is a work around. Copy the joblog in a dataset (Example: If you are using SDSF to see the jobs, type XDC against the compile job and give a dataset name to save in the next panel that comes). Then run the tool by giving dataset name as the argument (instead of giving Job name & Job ID as the arguments).

Hope this solves the problem.

I get an error apparently trying to access the output

Code:
 IKJ56328I JOB ZCL1XXXC REJECTED - JOBNAME MUST BE YOUR USERID OR MUST START WIT

It seems to be wanting the jobname to start with my user ID. Unfortunatly, this is not allowed by the job naming standards.

You can try copying the joblog in a dataset ( as explained in my previous post). If still does not work, please let me know the details of error.
