Question:

I am getting an error 39,02 when I try to read my existing Vision file. I discovered that the record size is different than expected and my record has COMP items. Originally I was compiling with ACUCOBOL's -Ci option for ICOBOL compatibility. What compile option should I use with isCOBOL?

Answer:

ICOBOL was created by Data General. Compile with -dcd to use Data General binary numeric format.
