hello all,
Previosly we were using vs cobol 2 .Now we are migrating to enterprise cobol.Programs compiled using enterprise cobol compiler are giving s0c4,s0c7 and s0ca errors. These programs are running fine in vs cobol 2 in production.This happens when the numproc compiler option is PFD.(it does not abend when NOPFD option is used).

Can someone explain the reason for this? How exactly are the numeric fields treated in enterprise cobol compiler- with and without PFD option.

You might see these kind of abends when Enterprise Cobol program tries to call/link to a OS/VS cobol program or a Cobol 2 program which is in Data 24.

When a variables is defined as numeric and you accidently have spaces being moved into it, Cobol 2 might accept but enterpriise Cobol does not permit these.

You might also see some abends when there is program which is compiled prior to LE.
