Re: Quarantine - how it's treating you?
It has started bugging me now. There is nearly no commute. You can't go anywhere freely within city. Going from one city to another is like going on a war. I've not met my family for nearly 3 months now.

With COBOL 6.2, are there changes the way INITIALIZE worked?
We had been upgrading from COBOL 4.2 to COBOL 6.2. There was a program that ran fine under COBOL v4.2 and gets S0C7 under COBOL v6.2. it needed to initialize a field to prevent the abend. COBOL v6.2 is not forgiving of uninitialized fields. Any experience with this, please? And is there some documen...

I'll try to explain more. We've CICS Test regions. These test regions can execute some of the transaction using Tibco and APIs and we don't have any control on that. These 'interfaces' don't have the visibility of mainframe transaction they just wait for the "result set". If they don't get...

Re: How to determine CI size by key length?
Yes, I was talking about KSDS. In general, key size has NO relationship to CI size. did you mean that there are case when there is a connection in between key-size and CI? CI size can only be certain values (512 to 8192 by 512, 8192 to 32760 by 2048) and you select the CI size based on the data set ...

Re: COBOL built-in function to trim spaces.
And the answer to your question is no, COBOL has no function to trim spaces. This is because COBOL does not have strings like languages such as C or Java. COBOL has variables. Variables are (almost always) fixed length and if there are not enough characters provided for the length of the variable, ...

How to determine CI size by key length?
Hi,
Am not very familiar with VSAM so asking this. How to determine CI size by key length? If the file length 25 and the file length is 2000? Is it based on CA size?

Thanks Robert for the reply. I read about PLT program and it is not easy to understand it. Will have more questions.
We have invoked the TRAN directly and experimenting if it if working as per test cases.

Test condition to bring down and up the CICS region.
Hi,
There is a requirement which requires to issue a print as soon as the CICS region is brought up. Is there a way to really create a test case for such a situation, I mean apart from really bringing down or up the region, what can be possible way to do it? Can region up/down be mimicked?
