Messages and listings for compiler-detected errors
As the compiler processes your
source program, it checks for COBOL language errors, and issues diagnostic
messages.
These messages are collated
in the compiler listing (subject to the FLAG option).
Each message in the listing provides information about the nature of the problem, its severity, and the compiler phase that detected it. Wherever possible, the message provides specific instructions for correcting an error.
The messages for errors found during processing of compiler
options, CBL and PROCESS statements,
and BASIS, COPY, or
REPLACE statements are displayed near the top of
the
listing.
The messages for compilation errors (ordered by line number) are displayed near the end of the listing for each program.
A summary of all problems found during compilation is displayed near the bottom of the listing.
