Folks

I am getting a "word too long" error when trying to run a cob -Z -o command with a list of about 1900 objects, does anyone know how I can get past this?

Any Help Appreciated

This looks like a cobol error? Have you tried posting your question in one of the Cobol forums?
 
Hi,
Shells typically have a line limit of 1024 or 4096 characters and if you go beyond that you will get this type of error.

Check to see if the COB program has an option to accept the list of files from a file instead of on the command line.

if it does then yo can simply put the names of all the files in a file Pass the File of Filenames into the COB program.
