COBCH1661 - COBCH1680

Lists the Syntax Checking error messages from COBCH1661 through COBCH1680.

COBCH1661 Must specify an initial value
The PERFORM USING statement must specify an initial value for the USING operand.
COBCH1662 Can only specify a single expression without a local variable definition
When using the PERFORM USING statement, multiple operands can be specified provided they are specified as locals within the statement (using AS syntax). If the PERFORM USING references an item that is already declared, then only one such operand is allowed.
COBCH1663 Overlapping perform range: <n> entries
Overlapping PERFORM ranges have been detected in the source code.
COBCH1664 Perform range:<procedure-name1> thru <procedure-name2>
Overlapping PERFORM ranges have been detected in the source code.
COBCH1665 Cannot use OCCURS DEPENDING ON with object type
The OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause has been specified on an incompatible type.
COBCH1666 Iterators properties and indexers cannot have reference parameters
You have attempted to define a by reference parameter to an iterator, property or indexer.
COBCH1667 Perform range end before start
The overlapping PERFORM range, indicated by the preceding COBCH1664, is a result of the end of the PERFORM range preceding the start of the PERFORM range.
COBCH1668 Paragraph "procedure-name1" in perform range contains a "GO TO procedure-name2", which causes overlap
The overlapping PERFORM range, indicated by the preceding COBCH1664, is caused by one or more GO TO statements in paragraph “procedure-name1”.
COBCH1669 Cannot construct an instance of abstract class <class-name>
An attempt has been made to instantiate an abstract class.
COBCH1670 TYPE missing preceding class name <class-name> - assumed
The keyword TYPE is missing from an inherits phrase.
COBCH1671 Not a valid dictionary iterator
The key or value phrase of the perform syntax has been specified on a collection that is not a valid dictionary.
COBCH1672 Dictionary key has incompatible type
The perform varying key phrase has been specified with a type not compatible with the definition of the dictionary.
COBCH1673 Dictionary value has incompatible type
The perform varying value phrase has been specified with a type not compatible with the definition of the dictionary.
COBCH1674 Internal dictionary overflow. Program too large
The program contains too many items, and has caused the compiler's internal dictionary to overflow.
COBCH1675 Could not find event event1
The event referenced in an ATTACH or DETACH statement could not be found.
COBCH1676 Anonymous method code cannot include GO TO or out-of-line PERFORM
The code for an anonymous method includes an out-of-line perform statement or a GO TO statement.
COBCH1677 Anonymous method code cannot include another anonymous method
The code for an anonymous method includes another anonymous method.
COBCH1678 Two parameters have same external name param1
The external names of two parameters specified in PROCEDURE DIVISION USING signature are the same. .
COBCH1679 PIC N (USAGE DISPLAY-1 or no USAGE) only allowed with runtime-encoding set to OEM
A data item in the source code has been specified as PIC N with USAGE DISPLAY-1, or with no USAGE specified, but the RUNTIME-ENCODING Compiler directive is set incorrectly.
COBCH1680 Badly formatted XML comment for <item-name>. XML loader message follows
XML syntax, used as part of the ILDOC Compiler directive, is badly formed.
