Bug ID: 120779 Summary: HIGH-VALUE / LOW-VALUE not found Product: gcc Version: 16.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: cobol Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: simonsobisch at gnu dot org Target Milestone: --- In file included from /opt/gcobol/bin/../share/cobol/udf/stored-char-length.cbl:128: prog.cob:239:60: error: DATA-ITEM 'LOW-VALUE' not found 239 | MOVE Z-SUBGEBNR TO Z01-SUBGEBNR-MIN | ^ prog.cob:240:60: error: DATA-ITEM 'HIGH-VALUE' not found 240 | Z02-SUBGEBNR-MAX. | ^ cobol1: error: failed compiling prog.cob The source reference is sadly broken (and again(?) references the default-includes from gcobc). Here are the lines that reference those constants; the vars are both defined as X(04). MOVE LOW-VALUE TO Z01-SUBGEBNR-MIN. MOVE HIGH-VALUE TO Z02-SUBGEBNR-MAX. INSPECT Z01-SUBGEBNR-MIN REPLACING ALL SPACE BY LOW-VALUE. INSPECT Z02-SUBGEBNR-MAX REPLACING ALL SPACE BY HIGH-VALUE. I tend to think the issue is on the INSPECT line. Note that figurative constants are special if the source is multiple bytes (which is not the case here - REPLACING ALL "TES" BY LOW-VALUE should replace it by 3 low-values).
