Hi guys
A quick question I was wondering whether anyone could confirm...
I'm using the IKFCBL00 COBOL compiler, which I understand is pretty old (well ancient actually 01MAY72!).
My source code is attempting to use the COBOL 'STRING' verb as in:
STRING WS-FIRST-NAME OF WS-USER DELIMITED BY SPACE
SPACE DELIMITED BY SIZE
INTO WS-FULL-NAME
ON OVERFLOW
DISPLAY 'SORRY, YOUR DATA WAS TRUNCATED'
END-STRING.
I'm getting compiler errors on this line, including "DELIMITED NOT DEFINED".
Am I right in assuming the STRING verb is not implemented in this MVT COBOL compiler?
Thanks guys
Pete
