mdisulaiman,

I guess you are using panavalet. Panavalet has version numbers from the 72 byte. I guess you have edited the contents on the line in question(deleted some content) and there by the version numbers are pulled inside the 1-72 range which is an invalid character for the compiler.

In the sysprint it gives you the error line no:, just remove the characters from the the line in question

Hope this helps...

cheers

Hi kolusu,

Sorry for the late reply. The above error occurs when i create a new member in my pds and not on editing an existing member, moreover my pgm is getting complied from other logins. Can you explain me why and what's the problem with my pds. Thanks in advance

bye

mdisulaiman,

I thinks your NUM settings which is messing it up. open the PDS member in Edit mode and type PROF on the command prompt. You should see something like this

Hai Kolusu,

Thanks kolusu for your info. Yes the num was on in the profile. After changing the state it works fine.

bye

Hi Kolusu,
With Num off also, it didnt worked for us, but we find it's working when we put pack off with Num off/ON, could you please explain how this makes the difference....

Thanks in advance. Rolling Eyes

Sivaraj,

You must keep PACK OFF because the compiler can't read ISPF packed data. It saves space in the PDS, but it can only be unpacked by ISPF. There is an ISPF utility (ISRLEMX) that could be added to the batch compile job to unpack the source prior to compile.

Regards,
Bill
