When compiling and linking an Easytrieve Report Generator program under Change Man, getting the following error:
IEW2526E: record image - SYSLIN does not contain a valid record type
Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6
The IEW2526E abend occurs when IEWL link-edit module expects a load-module in the SYSLIN passed instead of an object module.
It was actually an object module in the SYSLIN as it had the "ESD" card in the dump while Easytrieve naturally expects an object module from the SYSLIN for the EZTPA00 step and that works as expected.
Ensure that an object module for the //SYSLIN DD statement is coded.
