Cause

The client COBOL 6.2 compile output contains the following warning message

IGYCB7306-W   Unable to open SYSMDECK for reading. The clients COBOL 6.2 compile PROC shows the SYSMDECK DD is pointing to SYSOUT=* as shown below

//SYSMDECK  DD SYSOUT=* 

Intertest CICS requires the COBOL COMPILE parameter LIST to function properly. The compiler uses SYSMDECK to intersperse the verbs into the LIST output. The SYSMDECK should point to a work DD like SYSUTn.

Resolution

Change the SYSMDECK DD

From
//SYSMDECK  DD SYSOUT=*

To 
//SYSMDECK DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,2)) 
 
Intertest CICS ships with a COBOL 5.1 and above compile PROC which is located in PDS HLQ.CAVHPROC(CABACOB5)

//SYSUT14  DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,2))  
//SYSUT15  DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,2))

//SYSMDECK DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,2))
