Hi all,
I am trying to import a large copybook file into my Message set and I am geting a Fatal error. When I removed some fields the importing was successfull. I am thinking that the message set will allow only certain number of fields. It is not the case that the alignment of the fields is not correct. I checked each and every field. The total number of fields it is allowing me is 86. ( incl 01's , 03's , 05's and 10's.). And if I add even a similar field the WMQI returns an error. The error is not even in the report file. The error shows immediately after I import the copybook.

Please throw some light on this topic.
Thanks,
Basha.

There is no restriction on the number of elements that WMQI can import. There must be something wrong with your copybook or problem elements. What version of WMQI (and CSD) you are using?
Also, can you post your copybook here?

Please note that the following datatypes are outside the scope of the COBOL importer:
– Binary (10 to 18 digits)
– External floating point
– The DBCS datatype

What is the exact message you are seeing?

What version are you using?

Is there a log file of the import being created?

Hello,
I appreciate your prompt replies. The error was occuring because the fields for example :
Code:
05  ABCDEFG-GH-IJKL-MNOP        PIC S9(3)V9(7)  COMP-3.
are written in a single line and hence the WMQI report file (import errors) says that
Quote:
Calculated size is too big
. The above field was placed between the 20'th and 81'st columns.

I placed the size description of the field in the next line and it's working fine now. In this way ...
Code:
05  ABCDEFG-GH-IJKL-MNOP       
      PIC S9(3)V9(7)  COMP-3.


But, can any one explain the technical reasons behind this.

Hi Jeff,
I am sorry I did not include in my earlier post, the version of WMQI I am using. I am using WMQI V 2.1 with CSD 6. DB2 8.1. It is on WIN XP Pro.

Thanks,
Basha.
