COBOL Message Descriptions

The messages for the ILE COBOL licensed program begin with prefixes LNC, LNM, LNP, LNR, or LNT.
  • The LNC messages are issued by the COBOL syntax checker when SEU is used to enter your ILE COBOL source code. The LNC messages are also compiler-generated messages.
  • The LNM messages are used as headings during a run time ILE COBOL formatted dump.
  • The LNP messages are used in the ILE COBOL CL commands and menus.
  • The LNR messages provide you with additional information about system operation during run time.
  • The LNT messages are used as headings for various parts of the ILE COBOL compiler listing.

Message numbers are assigned as follows:
