Brad,

You need to specify the intrinsic in upper-case.  The compiler is interpreting the intrinsic name you placed in quotes as a lower-case intrinsic function, which doe not exist in the SYSINTR.PUB.SYS file.  Cobol will upshift all of the code in your source file except for data within quotation marks.

The small cobol program below compiles and runs on our test MPE/iX 5.5 pp6
machine but on our production machine with same MPE/iX 5.5 pp6, I get a
compiler error:

INTRINSIC clock NOT FOUND IN INTRINSIC FILE.

Does anyone know why this would happen?
