This is a long shot but are there any special characters in the procedure name? I found when helping another company with a similiar problem (the procedure name was treated as a program name) that having an imbedded underscore in the procedure name caused the compiler to treat the procedure name as a program name. I suggested to the customer that this be reported as a bug but I don't know if that was actually done or not.

I don't know if any other characters might also cause this rather strange behavior. In their case it was the underscore. Remove the underscore from the procedure name(s) and it takes off.

Hello Cobol fans .... I'm dabbling today (for a client) in an ILE program
that needs to call an ILE procedure. It is a simple call passing a few
parameters. The ILE procedure is in a service program and the procedure
name is 11 characters in length. I'm using the "CALL PROCEDURE" command
to call it, but whenever I run it, it drops the last character from the
procedure name and tries to call a program. Not finding it, it fails on
an MCH3401. The service program is specified in a binding directory that
is included when the program is compiled.

I'm pretty green with ILE COBOL .... I know I'm missing something but the
manuals that I have are somewhat less than helpful.

Any suggestions?
