Depending on the import type selected in the
Import FD From field of the Importer, there are a number of restrictions.
The following restrictions and problems exist in the extraction process when using the
New RST file compiled from COBOL source option:
- Empty groups generate a syntax error and the entire COBOL source is not imported into the catalog.
- All relational-operators for the VALUE clause are not supported. Condition items with these relational operators generate
a syntax error and the entire COBOL source is not imported into the catalog.
- Data items with a USAGE Clause of Pointer are not supported. They will result in a syntax error and prevent the COBOL source
from being imported into the catalog.
- The source format extensions, including longer source lines and changing of the right margin, are not supported, will result
in syntax errors, and prevent the COBOL source from being imported into the catalog.
