Suppress Warning: Fixed Width File

sampitke1 · Post by **sampitke1** » Wed Jul 02, 2008 4:17 pm

Hi

I am reading a COBOL File (Without Redefine and Occure Clauses) in a Sequential Stage. It is fixed with file having Record length 60.

To Read this file I have mentioned Record Length in Record Level as 61. (if I mentioned 60 it throws error don't know why?). Job is running file but with the warning
1) " Formatted length of fields and record (60) less than declared length (61)" (I tried to execute the job by putting recoed length 60. It fails.)
2) " Import consumed only 60bytes of the record's 61 bytes (no further warnings will be generated from this partition)"
3) Import warning at record 0.

I need to supress these warning and I need to execute this job without any warnings.

Can you please guide me on this?

Thanks and Regards
Sameer

Get the line terminator character defined correctly.
Or add FILLER PIC X. to the file definition.

Hey Ray,

I appreciate your help. I used the second option and it is working without warnings.

Thanks and Regards
