1.3.2.6 Common Command-Line Errors to Avoid
The following are some common errors to avoid when entering COBOL command
lines:
• Omitting /ANSI_FORMAT for programs that are in ANSI format (AREA A,
AREA B, and so forth)
• Including contradictory options
• Omitting a necessary qualifier, such as /LIST if you specify /MAP
• Omitting version numbers from file specifications when you want to compile a
program that is not the latest version of a source file
