TUESDAY TIP: Overcoming a Problem Registering a COBOL Program using Option 3, "Registration" in CA Mainframe Application Tuner 

Jul 08, 2014 02:53 PM

CA Mainframe Application Tuner (MAT) is able to use listings of several formats in the Analysis of Monitors.  One such format is a PROTSYM listing which can be COBOL, Assembler, or PL/1.  Upon successful registration CA MAT is able to utilize the registered listing in functionality such as CODEVIEW.

 

The following steps are used to register a COBOL listing, and I will include a common registration error and what can be done to correct the error:

 

Use Option 3 from the "Primary Option Menu" in order to register a COBOL listing, "Registration - Register source listings".

 

After selecting Option 3, press Enter.


On the next screen type in "C" for COBOL and PROTSYM for the "Listing Manager" and press Enter.

 

After entering "ADD", on the next screen enter "1" for Listing data set choice, the member name one wants to register in the "Member name" field, and the PROTSYM listing dataset name in the "Listing Data Set" field and press Enter.

 

At this time one would expect to receive a message indicating that the registration was successful.

 

What if you receive the following Error Message?


"Registration error - Check format of listing DSN and compile options".

 

Verify that the COBOL program was compiled with SOURCE, LIST, NOOFFSET, and NONUMBER options using COBOL for z/OS.  Also verify that there was no BATCHREG library manger option for PROTSYM.

 

If you are still receiving the error, the next thing to check for is to make sure that you are compiling with the post-processor value of LISTER=ALL.  If for example you are using LISTER=REF, then change to LISTER=ALL.  Then, recompile and see if you are able to successfully register your COBOL listing.

 

If you are not trying to register a PROTSYM listing, or you are and your post-processor value is LISTER=ALL, then please open a new issue with CA Support.
