Re: Help request: COBOL Compile, Link and Go


 

Marco,

Hopefully to add to what others have advised:

If you
DISPLAY "TEST".
then you need a
GO.SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

If you have
0065 SPECIAL-NAMES.
0066 CONSOLE IS CNSL
and
DISPLAY "TEST" UPON CNSL.

then your current JCL will work, with a
//GO.SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A

Hi

apologies for the probably stupid newbie question.? I get an error while trying to execute the attached job, which is a pretty standard (AFAIU) COBOL Hello World job.
The problem appears to be an error dealing with SYSOUT.? I am running on an unmodified (except for the new user) TK4-.

19.38.14 JOB 26 IEC130I SYSOUT DD STATEMENT MISSING
19.38.14 JOB 26 +IKF999I UNSUCCESSFUL OPEN FOR SYSOUT

Any help is appreciated, as I obviously do not quite understand what is going on.

Of course, you all can expect more questions like this in the future :)

Thank you

All the best

Marco
