Hi, Is it possible to use IF NOT statement for 88 variable in COBOL? Example 01 COUNTRY PIC X(03) VALUE SPCAES     88  CTRY_IND   VALUE "IND"   88  CTRY_PAK   VALUE "PAK"   88  CTRY_CHN   VALUE "CHN" Is below statement possible? IF NOT CTRY_CHN      MOVE A TO B ELSE    ...

It may be a very basic question. But I would like to know the answer of the following question:

Hi,

I have variable like below

01 ws-a pic x(30) value 'abcd234567@#₹....'

I want to get the length of the numeric values, alphabets
 

Does that mean that every company has to migrate to COBOL 6.2?

Hi, We had an abend in production and it required to analyze a file to be restored. We had to request to the storage team to restore it for you. Why could not we do the restore it ourselves? I mean why such rights give only to them and why could not we as programmers get it? Your reply is highly app...

Thanks Robert. Is there any way to figure out what code page is used at what time? And in what code page "@" can get converted to "à"?

Hi,

What is Data Spaces mapping for VSAM files? We have heard about this from an expert at my shop who refused to give any further pointers on it. Any direction will be great on this! Thanks for your help.

Thanks enrico. In test we can use these commands.

Below listed JCLs are some of the example of executing SQL queries in JCL: Suppose you want to unload the rows for department D01 from the project table. You can fit the table specification on one line, and you do not want to execute any non-SELECT statements, so you do not need the SQL parameter. ...

If you can pick it up, it's a PC.
If you can't pick it up but you can push it over, it's a minicomputer.
But when you can't pick it up or knock it over, it's a mainframe.

Hi,

Can we SQLs using JCL instead of QMF or SPUFI? Could you please share a JCL to do this, if it is possible.

Thanks for any help.
