<all previous snipped> Because there have been all sorts of notes on COBOL and setting the COND CODE (if RETURN-CODE) hasn't been cleared, I thought I would post a reference to:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3pg31/4.2.4.1 Now, I will admit that I could be mistaken, but I think that "not clearing" the registers impacts the system RETURN CODE (RC) and NOT the CONDITION CODE (COND CODE). For "good COBOL coding techniques" related to this, see also: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3pg31/3.1.1.3 and http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3pg31/3.2.2.6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
