Linkage section is not declared

Postby ravi11081992 » Thu Feb 21, 2019 11:03 pm

Hi Folks,

Trying to pass the data from JCL to COBOL using parm parameter. I haven't declared linkage section in the COBOL program

Does it throw compilation error or run time error or runs successfully?

Please clarify

Thanks

Your question falls into the category "easily answered by running a simple test". If you haven't done so, why not?

The compile fails with an IGYPA3067-S
Operand <variable name> was not defined in the "LINKAGE SECTION". The statement was discarded.
A severe error such as this (that's what the -S means after the message ID) sets the return code to 12 so the linkage edit will not execute and the program will not execute.
