Re: Understanding Error Messages

In your original note you showed us the compiler error messages (those
starting 
with IGY).  These must have been "visible" to you in a file somewhere. 
What we 
need to see is that entire file with those messages.

P.S.  If you are FTP'ing your source code to and from the mainframe, you
need to 
make certain that it is
   DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=F)  (or FB) on the mainframe.

As others have indicated, if you don't understand this, then you should
contact 
the person who got you "started" with compiling on the mainframe.  They
would 
understand all of this.
