SCB-3001-00-W Unknown verb COBOL action word assumed

The word flagged is not recognized by the AMB processor. It passes through, as is, to the generated COBOL output.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Resolution:

Examine the code for:

  • Spelling error.
  • Failure to provide an ellipsis (... ) on a continuation line when the word is not be a verb.
  • A verb that represents an extension of ANSI COBOL by a specific compiler (some IBM extensions are not so flagged).
  • Commands for a precompiler for COBOL software support in database management or data communication. For example, CICS has a special verb for use in S-COBOL; AMB does not recognize EXEC CICS or END-EXEC. Disregard this warning if the COBOL output is correct.
