Getting error.

IGYPA3043-E   Data-item "FILERECORDS (GROUP)" and record "FILERECORDS (GROUP)"
had overlapping storage.  Movement of data may not occur at execution time.

I have provided my cobol program. please check and help me to find the issue.

I am updating file from Cics region and using the same file to get the details and put in cics region.

Not sure why I am getting this error. Earlier I am using same Group data Item to add record to file and it is working fine. Please help !!

Answer 1

While the other answers correctly answer your question, compiling for CICS entails some restrictions documented here and quoted as of 06-Apr-2021 below. You may also want to consult the CICS documentation for your version and release of CICS.

Restriction: You cannot run COBOL programs that have object-oriented syntax for Java™ interoperability in CICS. In addition, if you write programs to run under CICS, do not use the following code:

• FILE-CONTROL entry in the ENVIRONMENT DIVISION, unless the FILE-CONTROL entry is used for a SORT statement
• FILE SECTION of the DATA DIVISION, unless the FILE SECTION is used for a SORT statement
• User-specified parameters to the main program USE declaratives (except USE FOR DEBUGGING)
• These COBOL language statements:
• ACCEPT format 1: data transfer (you can use format-2 ACCEPT to retrieve the system date and time)
• CLOSE
• DELETE
• DISPLAY UPON CONSOLE
• DISPLAY UPON SYSPUNCH
• MERGE
• OPEN
• READ
• RERUN
• REWRITE
• START
• STOP literal
• WRITE

[...]

Coding file input and output: You must use CICS commands for most input and output processing. Therefore, do not describe files or code any OPEN, CLOSE, READ, START, REWRITE, WRITE, or DELETE statements. Instead, use CICS commands to retrieve, update, insert, and delete data.

Answer 2

READ MYFILE INTO FILERECORDS is a duplicate because those are already assigned to each other.
To fix that simply use READ MYFILE (the INTO somewhere would only be used if you don't want to place that into FILERECORDS but somewhere else).
