I did many successful cobc complles 3 months ago. I have not reinstalled gnucobol. Today I get the subject error message from cobc while compiling a program that was successfully compiled previously. Search does not find reference to the symbol in Discussion. I know COBOL languages well, nothing of C and assembly. Please advise.

Hey Burke, not sure what you are asking, I have not seen cob_set_date_from_epoc in GnuCOBOL. I have posted some date routines, one is SecondsBetweenDateTIme and it might do what you want. Remember GMT when using the EPOC converter site.
secsbdt2 - batch (executalbe) program that will return the number of seconds between two dates and times. ccyymmdd hhmmss ccyymmdd hhmmss
The programs are in the contribution area: https://sourceforge.net/p/gnucobol/contrib/HEAD/tree/trunk/tools/DateRoutines

Right! My PCLINUXOS package was/is 3.2.1 but a couple of months ago I tried to download and install the newer version from your library. There was only one purpose - my hope to get the ACCEPT ... CURSOR ... clause which you said was working. My compile failed with something I didn't understand and I just gave up to wait for a package update from PCLINUXOS. cobc never compiled. I didn't do any compiles in the two months - my programs worked fine except for the one COBOL feature. I like what I have. I did not realize I had messed up my compile libraries.
To fix I have purged and re-installed the PCLINUXOS package and libraries (3.2.1) but I still get the same symbol error. I deleted /usr/lib64/gnucobol and tried again. I attach ldd $(which cobc). cobc --version gives the error but it must be 3.2.1. Can you tell me which library file names may be giving me the problem and how to fix it? I understand that ...epoch may only be the first of many such problems.

You have at least 2 (possibly partial) installations of GnuCOBOL. The runtime library used does not match the compiler.
Check with
Then either get rid of the additional version/path entry or prefix LD_LIBRARY_PATH with the right one.
