Doing a cobol compile and getting message:

FLM06501 - TRANSLATOR RETURN CODE FROM ===> COBBAT COMPILE ===> 4

Excellent! (What IBM Tool are you using to do this?)

the TS is trying to build something using SCLM,
the info posted is insufficient for any kind of advice

if the gentleman had posted the output of the run
we would have been able to provide something more

the message is explained here
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ ... T#FIRSTHIT

if the TS did not care to look at the message and post what the message told him to look at (*)
little can be done
(*) not the whole shebang, just the lines with the error
