LNC0790

Operational descriptor not created for %1. Argument accepted.

10

Cause . . . . . : A procedure CALL includes %1 in its argument list, and there is a LINKAGE TYPE clause for this procedure in the SPECIAL-NAMES paragraph that indicates that the argument in this position of the list must be passed to the procedure accompanied by an operational descriptor (OD). Either the procedure does not require an OD for this argument, or the argument has not been specified correctly. A COBOL program must define an argument that requires an OD as an elementary data item, with USAGE DISPLAY or DISPLAY-1. It may not be reference-modified.

Recovery . . . : Either change the linkage-arguments list specified in the LINKAGE TYPE clause, or change the definition of the argument.
