Hi,

I'm trying to use SETS and ROLS IMS functions in my program and when I'm trying to compile the program, I'm facing the compilation error as

"SETS" was not defined as a data-name

Not sure why its not recognizing the SETS or ROLS as IMS functions.

Could someone plz let me know if I have to add any statement to identify these functions in the COBOL program

Since it is not enclosed in quotes, SETS is interpreted as a variable, not a literal.

If it needs to be a literal, you'd have to supply BY CONTENT or BY VALUE.

If BY CONTENT is going to work, then make that parameter an identifier with a VALUE of "SETS". Best find out how long it needs to be.
