Hi,

Please find my code below.

Select all

FILE SECTION.                                 
FD  DATA-FILE                                 
    RECORDING MODE IS V                       
    RECORD IS VARYING FROM 1 TO 32696         
     DEPENDING ON WS-LENGTH.                 
01  INPUT-REC                   PIC X(32696).
FD  OUTPUT-FILE                               
    RECORDING MODE IS V                       
    RECORD IS VARYING FROM 1 TO 32696.       
     DEPENDING ON WS-LENGTH-OUT.             
01  OUTPUT-REC                  PIC X(32696).

I am getting return code "12" while compiling due to the following error.

Select all

IGYDS1089-S   "DEPENDING" was invalid.  Scanning was resumed at the next area "A" item, level-number, or the start of the next clause.

Can anyone help me solve the problem.

I found the problem and it is resolved. Thank you...........

I'm guessing it was the period at the end of the output file FD line:
RECORD IS VARYING FROM 1 TO 32696.
