Error description

  • Encountering an error (reason code 102) when trying to use the
    FMAP command against a VARCHAR column, and using their copybook
    definition against their data.
    

Local fix

  • Compile the copybook into a template using FM base option 7.1
    (Template Workbench), then use the template dataset name
    instead of the COBOL copybook.
