I scan the phases looking for ILBDCMM or you can look in your LNKEDT map for something similar ... If it is a CICS program then the source code should be reviewed as it is an indication... it can chew up your partition 24 bit GETVIS , batch we don't worry about. This is on VSE/ESA 2.3 and FCOBOL We have a preprocessor to the CICS command level processor that flags "illegal" verbs (string, unstring, display , read/write ...) -----Original Message----- From: owner-vse-l@Lehigh.EDU [mailto:owner-vse-l@Lehigh.EDU] On Behalf Of Kevin Corkery Sent: Friday, 27 June 2008 12:21 p.m. To: VSE Discussion List Subject: RE: CICS/TS MRO setup and some basic questions Can't remember exactly (I'll bet I have it saved somewhere on my home computer) but the use of STRING in DOS/VS COBOL was not always restricted. Seems that depending on the syntax of the verb as used in the source, there was the potential of a GETVIS being issued to process the request. If you looked in the compile map there were two different versions of particular library routine used in STRING processing, if you had one, no GETVIS and no worries, the other used GETVIS and it could cause problems. We used STRING extensively in an application we developed years ago that originally ran on WESTI and was later moved to CICS without any problems at all. All our STRINGS were delimited by SIZE, so if you think about it, it's nothing move that a bunch of fixed move commands under the hood. -- Kevin Corkery Independent Consultant Voorhees, New Jersey -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Frank Swarbrick" <Frank.Swarbrick@efirstbank.com> > I believe STRING and UNSTRING are OK as long as you are using Cobol II or > Cobol for VSE/ESA.
