COBOL CFD table import fails on character string format
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2017 1:42 pm
Greetings,
Having a problem importing a COBOL CopyBook as a COBOL FD table def into DSEE via the designer. I get the following error:
'PIC' PICTURE character string format must have at least a 9, A, G, N, or X symbol.
In trying to import the following 2 lines in the copybook:
000364 15 ML-CON-LOT-RLSE-PR REDEFINES ML-SALE-PRICE PIC FFSI000A
000364 S9(9)V COMP-3. FFSI000A
000372 15 ML-CON-LOTS-RLSED REDEFINES ML-YEAR-BUILT PIC FFSI000A
000372 S9(5) COMP-3. FFSI000A
I tried putting the 2 lines onto one as follows:
15 ML-CON-LOT-RLSE-PR REDEFINES ML-SALE-PRICE PIC S9(9)V COMP-3.
and nothing, same error. The funny thing is other redefines in the copy book are not getting this error..
What gives?
TIA,
