ICP131I CONTINUATION CHARACTER EXPECTED BUT NOT FOUND

Explanation

IOCP expected to find a continuation character (any nonblank character in column 72) and did not find one. IOCP expects a continuation character when the operand field of a statement ends with a comma. IOCP also expects a continuation character when the operand field of a statement ends in column 71 and the next card has blanks in columns 1-15 and a nonblank in column 16.

System action

IOCP continues to validate and check the syntax of the remaining statements. However, it does not generate an IOCDS and it does not produce configuration reports.

Programmer response

If you want a continued statement, place a nonblank character in column 72. If you do not want a continued statement, remove the condition that caused IOCP to expect a continuation character (for example, remove the trailing comma).
