Enterprise Cobol V4/V5/V6 - Conflicting options DYNAM and CICS("EXCI") is false

When using the CICS coprocessor to compile programs using the EXCI interface, option CICS("EXCI"), the compiler reports an error if the DYNAM option is used :

IGYOS4020-W The "DYNAM" option was discarded due to conflict resolution option. The "CICS" option from compile invocation parameter took precedence.

In fact there is no incompatibility between the DYNAM and CICS("EXCI") options and the NODYNAM forcing is done wrongly.

However, the DFHXCSTB module must be explicitly linked with the Cobol object module.

    We do not think this is a valid RFE that we should pursue and does not fall inline with our 5 year plan. Also, there exist a possible working previously mentioned. Hence rejecting.

    We can also use "CALL data-item" to force user CALLs to DYNAM.
    However, the constraint is on calls to the EXCI interface, and it does not seem normal to us that all other calls should be the subject of a specific declaration.
    We propose instead to apply one of the solutions described in our applications 133318 and 135571, and that it is the calls to EXCI that are the subject of a specific treatment.

    Hi,

    There is currently a workaround that exists today
    ie to use >>CALLINTERFACE directive to make all user CALLs into dynamic CALLs.

    Would this be sufficient?

    This RFE is still being investigated.
