Illegal key in VC10

i have download today visual cobol 10.

by compiling my programs without errors on Visual Cobol 9, i become now the error COBCH0314 - illegal key on datio.cpy 

may be the command "start Datei key not less DATEI-Key0 or "start DATEI key not greater DATEI-Key0

Where can i found if there are new service packs for Visual cobol?

is this a bug?

no Problem with Netexpress 5.x or vc8 or vc9

    How is it possible to Upload a zip file as example for this compliging error

  • 0   in reply to   

    You can upload a small zip file by clicking on the Insert Image/Video/File option on the toolbar and then click the Upload link which will allow you to select your file.

    For something like this problem though it would be better just to post a snippet of code that reproduces the error. Since it is a compiler error that should be just the file select and FD and the statement on which the error occurs.

    you don't accept a small vc10.zip file with 120.000 bytes, that allow you to see the bugs (illegal key and converting)

    small netexpress project and sln from vc3 and compiling errors by vc10.

    Converting with vc10 was not possible!

    Can you use the ftp from OT?

    The problem with the error about the illegal key has nothing to do with converting from a Net Express project.

    It does appear to be a bug and I have created an internal defect for it. The problem is that you are using the RENAMES clause to rename an indexed file key and the renaming data-item is not recognized as being a valid key name.in a start or read statement.

    I tested this in V9.0 and it worked fine so it appears to be a problem in V10.0. 

    I currently do not have a workaround other than changing your program.

    I will update you when there is a status change.

    Chris, we work since 30 years with this independant file description. I send you one example, but this is in all cbl and for all file description, never had any trouble from netexpress 1 to 5.1, also from vc3.0 to vc9.0

    this was a genial development, database like

    i hope your developer will solve very quickly this bug!

    Thanks for your help!
