Hi Leslie, you have the following order in your CONFIGURATION SECTION Source-Computer. Object-Computer. Repository. Special-names. as far as I know *only* GnuCOBOL will compile this, the others only do so if the order is correct: Source-Computer. Object-Computer. Special-names. Repository. This is the reason for the warning. And yes: the Programmer's Guide is wrong in this place. Am 08.09.2017 um 17:25 schrieb Leslie Turriff: > Last night I installed V2.2 and started tinkering with it.
