APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Error Description:
  The test COBOL compile job to verify a CCCA conversion fails

  ****************************************************************
  CCCA optionally performs a test compile of converted source
  code.  This is done by invoking an in-line JCL procedure to call
  the compiler, based on one previously supplied with the compiler
  itself, but as the output is not required, the output SYSLIN DD
  statement is overriden to DD DUMMY.  The SYSLIN DD statement
  within the procedure specifies UNIT=VIO, and JCL processing
  validates this even though it is going to be overriden.  If the
  installation does not have UNIT=VIO defined, or has it only
  defined in SMS but not in the hardware configuration, this
  causes a JCL error with message IEF210I saying that the unit
  name is invalid.  The same reference to UNIT=VIO also occurs
  in the sample JCL for batch processing supplied with CCCA.
  
  All other references to unit names in the skeleton JCL and
  the samples refer to a unit name which can be customised as
  part of the product environment options, so this reference
  to UNIT=VIO should also be customised to use the installation
  work file unit name.
  
  Note that the same problem may also occur with UNIT=SYSDA if
  it is only defined to SMS, not in the hardware configuration,
  because the overriden JCL statement has the DUMMY option
  and is not passed to SMS.  A simple solution in this case is
  to set the work file unit name in the environment options to
  SYSALLDA instead.
  

Problem conclusion

• The skeleton and sample files have been changed to use the
  installation work file unit name specified in the environment
  options rather than the fixed value of UNIT=VIO.
