I don't know what you are trying to do with the [ and ], but they
shouldn't be there.

Since the compiler needs the file's extension, the file name
argument should be % and not %<.

If you want to use Vim's :make command, then you need to execute
:make, not :!make.

Vim takes care of output redirection, so the >&1 should not be
there.

To fix this, first of all I would put all the compiler options into
'makeprg' and set 'makeprg' once rather than each time you compile.

:set makeprg=vcom\ -work\ work\ -2002\ -explicit\ %

Then to compile your file, just execute

:make

or if you want to just hit <F9>, map <F9> like this:

:map <F9> :make<CR>

You will probably have to change 'errorformat' to recognize the
output format of your compiler as well, but I don't know what your
compiler's error messages look like.
