The root cause is the TCC0066E SYSMDECK error.
With the new versions of COBOL 5 and COBOL 6, there are many changes necessary to the compiler JCL to include new DD statements for SYSUT8-SYSUT15 and for SYSMDECK. 
The SYSMDECK DD statement must be present in the compiler JCL even though "MDeck = No" is being set.
