Issue/Introduction

During program assembly getting the following error

** ASMA065E Unknown type - GLnnn

 

 

Environment

Easytrieve Report Generator, release 11.6

Pan/SQL 2.4C (0203)

Cause

If using the DB2 data type BIGINT,
    PANSQL PTFs RO77666 and RO78062 are required.

These have changed some of Easytrieve's dummy variable definitions from CL to GL,
    which are used by DBCS (Double Byte Character Set).

  

Resolution

Add DBCS to the parameter in the assembly EXEC DD statement: 

      //ASMSTEP EXEC PGM=ASMA90,PARM='OBJECT,NODECK,RENT,LIST,DBCS',...

 

 

Additional Information

Graphic(n)  -  DS GLm  -   m is expressed in bytes, n is the number of double-byte characters. 1<=n<=127.
