Well, The COBOL compiler compiles the dynamic call to a call to a COBOL service routine passing the name of the module. That service routine looks up the module in its tables and will do a direct call if found or load and add if not found. You can try to frontend that COBOL service routine. On T

The "problem" is that z/OS _cannot_ allow the TOD clock (hardware clock) to go "backwards".

And I think that hardware additi

I can try that. The programmer says that he intents to define the passed in area in the calling program at the front of his WORKING-STORAGE so that the area is larger.

True, John did say that in his original post. But the principal is the same -- the occurs-depending-on variable in the TO area must be set before the MOVE for the length that the programmer wants to be moved, whether more or exactly as much as the input record area, or even less for that matter

Re: 1403 Printer components manual GA24-3073-3

Ah, what non-fond memories! We had a computer room operator that was sensitive to the IBM provided glue, which had a potent aroma. We found that a 1 inch length of ordinary scotch tape, cut in two lengthwise, worked well and outlasted the actual CC tape itself. Eventually the sprocket holes

Re: COBOL "problem" (not really), but sort of.

If you're still up for it... The program you've posted is not valid COBOL.  Did you retype it?  Or do you have some sort of pre-processor that converts it to valid COBOL?  Even forgetting that, I don't see how this could possibly ever work.  XDF-RECORDV is an implicit redefines of XDF-RECORD. 

Re: COBOL "problem" (not really), but sort of.

Thanks. I'll point him to it. He has already, somewhat jokingly, said "fix it!" But COBOL doesn't have the DWIW (Do What I Want) verb. On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 12:46 PM, Sambataro, Anthony (NIH/NBS) [E] < anthony.sambat...@nih.gov> wrote: > Could you point the programmer to the COBOL Reference an

Could you point the programmer to the COBOL Reference and the following section? Alignment rules . Alphanumeric, alphanumeric-edited, alphabetic, DBCS For these receiving items, the following rules apply: 1. The data is aligned at the leftmost character position, and (if necessary)

Re: How to display JES2 fields from the PDDB

Hello: You may be better served by using an IF SLIP and writing trace records (A=TRACE) to a GTF that specifies TRACE=SLIP so that you can get a greater variety of PDDB iterations. A dump is going to just get you one PDDB at that point in time. Use $DMOD(modname) to get the address of the ex

Re: COBOL "problem" (not really), but sort of.

You do realize that +1077952576 is the same as x'40404040' which is the value of the FILLER field in the first 01. This may be an alignment issue in addition to expecting to get something for nothing from COBOL. Charles (Chuck) Hardee Senior Systems Engineer/Database Administration CCG Informa

This delay offline processing for a nano second or less would that have any impact ? Sent from my iPhone On Sep 11, 2013, at 8:43 PM, Jim Mulder wrote: >>> With disablement, you can guarantee that your processor will not be >>> interrupted between fetching the address and accessing it >> >> Y

Re: COBOL "problem" (not really), but sort of.

Doesn't surprise me. We get blank and zero overlays all the time. What I really needed, and have, is a good way to explain what is happening and how he is misunderstanding what is needed in COBOL, according to the manual. I am not a COBOL programmer. And I explain things is assembler ways, which so

Re: Wait all CPU's enabled at least once
