Hi,

Can't compile on MF z/OS V1R10.0 XL C/C++ compiler, program that contains array definition because of '[' and ']' characters. :?

Help.

Well, I am sure that the compiler would not have been released if it couldn't do that so the problem is going to be in the area of code pages and setup. First place to check is with the sysprogs - if this is a new installation of the C compiler, has it been done properly? If other people use it ok how is your setup different from theirs? Also, check what the manual say about character sets.

EBCDIC has multiple code pages -- one of the more common uses X'BA' for open bracket, and another of the more common does not (I don't remember what it does use). Your code page is probably set to the wrong one.

EBCDIC 037 - uses x'BA' and another one is probably EBCDIC 1047

Where I need to set it to correct one?

Where the manual says. Look up CODEPAGE in the index or if you want to do it really quick - ask someone in your shop who is doing it OK.
