I am trying to compile a cobol program using the DB2 extensions to MF cobol.

I am getting the following error.

Any ideas??

Hello Steve,

( It's probably best to post such questions to the Micro Focus Forum under
http://www.cobolportal.com ).

The default package name is derived from the program name. Your program name
(casc_source_dates_to_iconmetro) exceeds the maximum package name size supported
of 8 characters. You will need to compile your application with the DB2(ACCESS=shorter_name)
directive, where "shorter_name" is 8 characters or less.

If you try to precompile your app, casc_source_dates_to_iconmetro.sqb, using
the IBM-provided embprep script (which invokes db2 prep...), and then query
the list of packages on the database, you will see that it the name has been
truncated to CASC_SOU.

Regards,
Simon.

Simon,

Does it matter what I call it?

What is it used for?

If I am doing my compiling in a script can I always have it as
ACCESS==xxxxx?

TIA
