I am trying to implement the zOS IDCAMS utility with GnuCOBOL EXTFH.
I am stuck at Cobol 3.1-Dev because the ASSIGN TO clause of the Select statement is broken in subsequent versions.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit and Arnold's 3.1-Dev binaries.
With EXTFH in effect via -fcallfh I can no longer find an environment variable for the equivalent of DDNAME. which I "displayed upon environment" as I translated the JCL.
Without callfh in effect the DDNAME is in the environment.
Might EXTFH be the culprit ?
I can work around this by creating a file of DDNAMES as I process JCL. But there are a whole bunch of inter-related control blocks sharing many data elements of the DD statement. So I would rather
isolate the issue and see if there is an easier work around.
Please advise.
Thank you
Ralph
