Issue/Introduction

Compile a COBOL for VSE program with options 'CBL LIB,APOST,OFFSET,VERB,CLIST,SXREF,NOSEQ' get error messages: 

IGYOS4003-E INVALID OPTION "VERB" WAS FOUND AND DISCARDED.

IGYOS4003-E INVALID OPTION "CLIST" WAS FOUND AND DISCARDED.

IGYOS4003-E INVALID OPTION "SXREF" WAS FOUND AND DISCARDED.

 

Cause

The Compile options "CBL LIB,APOST,OFFSET,VERB,CLIST,SXREF,NOSEQ"  and not valid for COBOL for VSE

Resolution

In order to use the InterTest for VSE r 6.0 to debug a COBOL for VSE program, the program must be compiled with certain compiler options. The InterTest for CICS post processor program IN25COB2 step takes the output generated by the COBOL for VSE compiler and copies the program source code to the InterTest for CICS PROTSYM file repository. Then the user sets breakpoints in their program using the source code listing.

The compile parameters required by InterTest for VSE r 6.0 to post process a COBOL for VSE program are: 

CBL NONUMBER,MAP,SOURCE,XREF,LIST
