Hi,

We have got a S0C7 is the production for a Job. We have abend-Aid installed and I tried to analyze it. But I could not figure out how to know which record is in error? How to find that?

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 ...

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, ...

HI All,

Is there any COBOL built-in function to trim spaces at the starting and ending of a variable.. please let me know.

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.

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?

Hi

is it possible to use reference modification for a receiving field in a COBOL program? For example, can we use something like this:
?

I am still getting the same results. As this is for learning only... I shall do some more experiments.

Thanks for all your replies.

I think I saw a reply there on this thread using some SDSF trick but it is not there now?

Hi, FILEAID option 3(Utilities) > option 6(search and update). Key-in the DSN and the text to be replaced. When prompted for confirmation about to perform update or not - select 'yes' and the new changes will be reflected in the code. You can (if I'm not mistaken) generate a batch Job also for this...

Thanks Pandora-Box. I usually keep my terminal busy but you never know when you are pulled in some call and that time it mkaes trouble. 30 minutes default is pretty good, as per the manual but it's 5 minutes at my terminal.

. Hope it might help someone.

That will read up to four lines of SYSIN data in one shot :-) That's a differnt behavior. I was thinking that to run the above program on maifnrames one would need a JCL. 5, 2 and 9 as inputs from SYSIN, which will be treated as FB/80 dataset so an input like 5 2 9 are three seperate inputs of type...
