CSV003I REQUESTED MODULE FAIROPN  NOT FOUND
CSV028I ABEND806-04  JOBNAME=xxxxxxx  STEPNAME=xxxxxxx

Environment

Environment : z/OS

Release : V15.1

Cause

MetaCOBOL+ R1.1 was included as a component of DATACOM and changed to DATACOM For Meta-COBOL V15.1.
At this time the Panvalet interface was disabled.

Resolution

Please apply the ST06944.

The external library support installed by default is Librarian.     
Panvalet support was installed as a replacement by the prior product MetaCOBOL+, but a run-time option to switch between them is preferable, as it avoids the need to create multiple installations, and is a simpler process using SMP/E for installation and maintenance.

With this emhancement, the LIBE=PAN option is moved from an install default setting, to being a translate-time option.
It is still only possible to use one external library type in any single run of the DATACOM For Meta-COBOL translator. When it is specified, the LIBCORE option may also be used.

For example;
PARM='LIBE=PAN,RESEQ=NUM,CR=256,DI=XO,ID=*SAVE,LC=533,SU,PR=CICS,NOSEPPAR,LISTOUT'
