I'm using gcc on the AIX machine for C compilations - we don't have IBM's cc and given that we have the grand total of one C program, it's not very likely that we'll be getting it. The programs compile successfully as per original versions, though I have made two minor changes to testc - null byte to terminate ws-name and "by reference" in the call to helloworld. helloworld works quite happily when invoked standalone. I tried putting in an additional call to sprintf this in working-storage 01 ws-to-buff pic x(80). 01 ws-line-desc. 03 filler value "Buffer says hello %s". and this in procedure division call "sprintf" using by reference ws-to-buff by reference ws-line-desc by reference ws-name display ws-to-buff and this works. So is it an incompatibility with gcc?
