Sure, if I knew that address. :-) If you just send me a short mail
to my addres available here: http://www.jescab.se/Kontakt1.htm,
I'll reply with the actual COB file I used. Note that this is not an
actual source file for our applications, just something I had around
and, as it is, it will give a number of other errors and it doesn't
leave any OBJ file behind. Maybe more severe errors can make the
compiler to suppress less severe messages? If that is the case, we
might close this issue here. It was just that line in the LIS
file that confused me.
