Hi,
 
COMP-1 is a short FLOAT (4 bytes) and cannot have PIC qualifier
Anyway your redefinition goes nowhere (want to separate mantissa from exponent ? - no)
 
MERANT Micro Focus Net Express V3
Version 3.1.11 Copyright (C) 1984-2000 MERANT International Ltd.
URN AXCGG/AA0/00000
     7 01 CAF-NUMERO PIC 999 COMP-1.
* 229-S*****************************                                         **
**    Incompatible qualifiers
 
The same in OC:
c1redef.cbl:7: Error: 'CAF-NUMERO' cannot have PICTURE clause
 
Regards,
Sergey

hi !

I've just discovered open cobol , and I'm amazed. Big THANK YOU to you.

I think I'll ask a lot of questions, trying to get my old RM COBOL 85 system fully compiled by Open cobol.

The first of which is : Even if the code below compiles fine in RM COBOL 85 , it gets me a syntax error , even if I put -std=cobol85 in the cobc command line:

       01 CAF-NUMERO PIC 999 COMP-1.
       01 CAF-ALFANUM-1 REDEFINES CAF-NUMERO.
           05 CAF-ALFANUM-2 PIC X.
           05 CAF-ALFANUM PIC X.

The idea there is to split a number.

Is there a way that I can make the code compile ?

best regards ,

haroldo
