Re: [Bug-GnuCOBOL] Compiling a function ends in a msg from the C-compoiler

[Edward Hart]

Hi Harald,

This bug was fixed in r1375. The compiler now emits the error "RETURNING item is not defined in LINKAGE SECTION".

The OpenCOBOL-IDE will likely not include this fix until GnuCOBOL 2.0-rc3 is released.

Hi,

 

I was just testing a GNU-COBOL-IDE I found in the internet.

I typed in some lines which I hoped it is COBOL

but I’m not sure if it is correct COBOL 2002 syntax.

 

       IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.

       FUNCTION-ID. TEST2.

       data division.

       working-storage section.

       01  erg pic 9(18) binary value 4711.

       procedure division returning erg.

       main.

           exit function.

       END FUNCTION TEST2.

 

Compiling this stuff ends in a message from the C-compiler:

/tmp/cob6919_0.c: In function ‘TEST2_’:

/tmp/cob6919_0.c:109: error: incompatible types in assignment

 

Please have a look, if this is COBOL or if we can get a syntax error msg from the COBOL compiler.
