Can you show me the exact statement that you are using on which you get this error?
Also what is the value that you are entering in the field prior to the set statement?
I am using the statement that I showed to you and it works fine.
If you are looking for a way to convert an RM COBOL WOW application to Visual COBOL then you should talk to Bob England at ETS as he has created a tool which does exactly that.
Thanks.
