Program compiles, but won't link.

[cold25]

My program will compile without any errors, but when I try to link it, it gives me the following error message below. I'm just learning Cobol and I don't know how to fix this problem, and "define the entry point." Any ideas?

Thanks,
cold25

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\FSC\PCOBOL32\LINK' : return code '0x68'

Are you compiling with the program set as "MAIN"

no problem,I think this one catches out everyone when they start.

I had the exact same problem. Thanks for the help tonyc1.


For those who still can't figure it out, just put "/ENTRY:YourProgramsID" in the linking options box.


For Example, if your first 2 lines of code are:

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. TEST1.

you enter "/ENTRY:TEST1" in the options box.
