About this information

This information is for Enterprise COBOL programmers and system programmers to understand certain
COBOL compiler messages and return codes to diagnose problems.
Throughout this information, "COBOL" or "Enterprise COBOL" refers to "IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS"
or "IBM Enterprise COBOL Value Unit Edition for z/OS".
Notes:
• This information does not include all the individual COBOL messages and their explanations. For most
messages, there is no further detail other than what you see in the actual messages. This is because
the messages are considered to be self-explanatory when used together with the Enterprise COBOL
Language Reference. If you do not think a message is self-explanatory, please send us comments.
Specify the messages that you think need further explanation and why.
• For all the COBOL runtime messages, see COBOL runtime messages in the z/OS Language Environment
Runtime Messages.

Message format and return codes

This guide lists the compiler messages generated by the IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS compiler in
numerical order. These messages are also listed in numerical order in the output following the source
program and in any other listings produced by the compiler.

The format of a message generated during compilation is as follows:

nnnnnn IGYPPmmmm-Z message-text

where:
• nnnnnn is the number of the source line to which the message refers.
• IGYPPmmmm-z is the message header:
– IGY is the IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS product code.
– PP identifies the phase that issued the message. For details, see “Compiler phase identifiers” on page
vi.
– mmmm is the message number.
– Z indicates the compiler message severity level or FIPS message category.
Compiler messages can have 1 of 5 levels of severity:
I (informational - return code 0)
An informational-level message (RC=0) is an aid to the user. No action is required from the user
and the program will execute correctly as it stands.
W (warning - return code 4)
A warning-level message (RC=4) calls attention to a possible error. It is probable that the program
will execute correctly as written.
E (error - return code 8)
An error-level message (RC=8) indicates a condition that is definitely an error. The compiler has
attempted to correct the error but the results of program execution may not be what the user
expects. The user should correct the error.

© Copyright IBM Corp. 2022 v

S (severe - return code 12)
A severe-level message (RC=12) indicates a condition that is a serious error. The compiler was
unable to correct the error. The program will not execute correctly, and execution should not be
attempted.
U (unrecoverable - return code 16)
An unrecoverable-level message (RC=16) indicates an error condition of such magnitude that the
compilation was terminated.
Notes:
• Some messages numbered 0000-3999 and any messages numbered 8000-8999 may be suppressed
by using a MSGEXIT user exit. If a message is suppressed, this listing will show the severity as XX:
XX (suppressed - return code of original message)
Informational and warning messages may be suppressed.
For details, see Processing of MSGEXIT in the Enterprise COBOL Programming Guide.
• Messages numbered 5000-5999 are for compiler maintenance and are not translated for national
language support.
• Messages numbered 8000-8999 are FIPS messages. These messages can have 1 of 8 categories:
I
ANS intermediate level, not in minimum level.
H
ANS high level, not in intermediate level.
D
ANS debug module level 1.
N
ANS segmentation module level 1.
S
ANS segmentation module level 2.
E
Nonstandard extension.
O
Obsolete language element.
Q
ANS high level and obsolete language element.
The FLAG compiler option suppresses the listing of messages in the compiler listing. For details, see FLAG
in the Enterprise COBOL Programming Guide.

Compiler phase identifiers

In messages, the two characters following IGYC are compiler phase identifiers, which identify the
compiler phase that issued the message.
AS
Code Generator Phase Control Module Phase (IGYCASMB).
This phase loads and controls the code generator phase IGYCCBE.
CB
Code Generation and Optimization Phase (IGYCCBE).
This phase (optionally) optimizes the program, and then generates machine instructions and allocates
and manages register usage. This phase also puts out the LIST output to the listing and (optionally)
generates debugging information if the DWARF suboption of TEST|NOTEST was in effect.
DI
Diagnostic Phase (IGYCDIAG).

vi Preface
This phase processes E-text and generates compiler diagnostics for source program errors.
DM
DMAP Phase (IGYCDMAP).
This phase processes the MAP option to generate the DATA DIVISION storage map. It uses data
contained in the dictionary to produce the storage map.
DS
Data Scan Sub-Phase (IGYCDSCN).
This phase translates input source statements in the IDENTIFICATION DIVISION, ENVIRONMENT
DIVISION, and DATA DIVISION into compiler internal text. It also identifies and classifies statements,
and performs syntactical analysis on statements and statement elements. An entry is made in the
symbol table for each unique user name identified in this scan.
This phase creates attribute table entries for data definition elements (for example, data-names
or file-names), processes data description entry clauses, and checks clauses within an entry for
compatibility.
General information table entries are also created for edited PICTURE masks and user-defined
collating sequences associated with an alphabet name.
FG
File Generation Phase (IGYCFGEN).
This phase is a conditional phase executed only if the COBOL program contains an FD (I/O file) and/or
an SD (sort file).
GR
Group Process Sub-Phase (IGYCGROU).
The Group Process sub-phase of the Scan Phase processes references to data names in the
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION and DATA DIVISION. This phase resolves all the forward data references
encountered by DSCN (and for which I-text was produced), completing Attribute Table and GIT entries
for these references. This phase is also responsible for processing VALUE clause literals and creating
the required procedure form I-text (for format-1 VALUE) or GIT entries (for format-2 VALUE) for these
literals.
IN
Initialization Phase (IGYCINIT).
This phase performs the housekeeping functions required to prepare the operating environment
for the processing of source programs. It is also invoked at the end of compilation to perform the
housekeeping involved in normal program termination.
Because these functions are performed only once for each compilation, the code is contained in
the initialization phase rather than in the resident control phase. This phase is not resident during
compilation.
LI
Copy Phase (IGYCLIBR).
This phase scans the user's COBOL source for COPY, BASIS, and REPLACE statements. It is invoked
only if the LIB option has been specified. Original and library source texts are processed, and lexical
and syntactic analysis of the COPY, BASIS, and REPLACE statements is performed. The phase updates
the library text and creates C-form (COPY) text.
LS
Lister Phase (IGYCLSTR).
This phase manages the construction of the program's source listing. This phase processes L-text
(listing text), and, if the appropriate compiler options are selected, imbeds diagnostic messages,
map information and cross-reference information in the source listing. It also indicates statement or
program nesting levels for every source line.

Preface vii
OS
Options Scan Phase (IGYCOSCN).
This phase determines which compilation options are to be in effect by merging options and resolving
conflicts from the following:
• Default options table
• CBL statements
• JCL PARM statement
• JCL OPTION statement (VSE Only)
PA
Procedure Analysis Sub-Phase (IGYCPANA).
This phase does semantic analysis of PROCEDURE DIVISION source statements, transforms I-text
into M-text, and resolves procedure-name references.
PG
Procedure Generation Phase (IGYCPGEN).
This phase processes those verbs coded in the PROCEDURE DIVISION of the COBOL program or
generated by the procedure analysis phase.
In addition, certain information about the source program needed by the assembly phases is collected
in this phase. If the NOCOMPILE option is in effect, this phase is not executed.
PS
Procedure Scan Sub-Phase (IGYCPSCN).
The Procedure Scan sub-phase of the Scan Phase performs syntax analysis and a part of the semantic
analysis on the PROCEDURE DIVISION source statements. It translates each data name appearing
as an operand in a statement into an Attribute Table offset and collects the attribute information for
the operand. It also validates each operand. Based on the language definition, it diagnoses invalid
operands.
RC
Resident Control Phase (IGYCRCTL).
This phase establishes the compilation environment and controls the loading and deleting of all
compiler phases. IGYCRCTL is loaded by the host operating system or by the CMS Interface Phase,
COBOL2, under CMS. This phase remains in memory throughout the compilation process.
SC
Scan Phase (IGYCSCAN).
This phase manages the Data Scan, Group Process, Procedure Scan, and Procedure Analysis sub-
phases.
SI
System Interface Phase (IGYCSIMD).
This phase obtains and initializes dynamic storage for compiler processing. It is invoked by all phases
through the common service macros to perform system dependent functions. This phase is always
loaded within the first 16 megabytes of storage and is resident in storage throughout the compilation.
IGYCSIMD is loaded by IGYCRCTL, the resident control phase.
XR
Cross-Reference Phase (IGYCXREF).
This phase produces cross-references requested by the XREF option.

messages
Most 5000 series messages (messages numbered 5000-5999) and 7000 series messages (messages
numbered 7000-7999) are for compiler internal errors and require the user to contact IBM support to
report the problem. There are some 5000 series and 7000 series messages that can result from user
controllable circumstances, such has JCL errors, and can be corrected by the user. These messages are
described below.
PP identifies the phases that issued the message. These messages can be issued by different phases, like

Accessibility features for Enterprise COBOL for z/OS
Accessibility features assist users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to
use information technology content successfully. The accessibility features in z/OS provide accessibility
for Enterprise COBOL for z/OS.

Accessibility features
z/OS includes the following major accessibility features:
• Interfaces that are commonly used by screen readers and screen-magnifier software
• Keyboard-only navigation
• Ability to customize display attributes such as color, contrast, and font size
z/OS uses the latest W3C Standard, WAI-ARIA 1.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/), to ensure
compliance to US Section 508 (https://www.access-board.gov/ict/) and Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/). To take advantage of accessibility features,
use the latest release of your screen reader in combination with the latest web browser that is supported
by this product.

Keyboard navigation
Users can access z/OS user interfaces by using TSO/E or ISPF.
Users can also access z/OS services by using IBM Developer for z Systems®.
For information about accessing these interfaces, see the following publications:
• z/OS TSO/E Primer (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/ikj4p120)
• z/OS TSO/E User's Guide (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/ikj4c240/
APPENDIX1.3)
• z/OS ISPF User's Guide Volume I (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/ispzug70)
• IBM Developer for z Systems Knowledge Center (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/
SSQ2R2/rdz_welcome.html?lang=en)
These guides describe how to use TSO/E and ISPF, including the use of keyboard shortcuts or function
keys (PF keys). Each guide includes the default settings for the PF keys and explains how to modify their
functions.

Interface information
The Enterprise COBOL for z/OS online product documentation is available in IBM Knowledge Center,
which is viewable from a standard web browser.
PDF files have limited accessibility support. With PDF documentation, you can use optional font
enlargement, high-contrast display settings, and can navigate by keyboard alone.
To enable your screen reader to accurately read syntax diagrams, source code examples, and text that
contains period or comma PICTURE symbols, you must set the screen reader to speak all punctuation.
Assistive technology products work with the user interfaces that are found in z/OS. For specific guidance
information, see the documentation for the assistive technology product that you use to access z/OS
interfaces.

In addition to standard IBM help desk and support websites, IBM has established a TTY telephone
service for use by deaf or hard of hearing customers to access sales and support services:
