SPACES, when you talk about it in a COBOL Forum, has a definite, predefined and universally accepted meaning. SPACES is a figurative-constant, as ZEROS(ZERO) is. So this sentence of yours, emphasis added by me I have done it by moving '000000000' to spaces and it is working and for leading zeros I h...

Disclaimer: These are my own personal views and they don't represent the belief or policies of any company or entity in any way. I'd say you've put a very open ended question - when you talk about "public sector companies", it readily calls upon the discussion on where do you belong to? What is you...

If I read through this thread, unfortunately, it's confusing at its best! With a Subject-line as "PARM Limit" now we're talking about "Dynamic allocation of file in COBOL"!

And what is this saying asking

I have to pass parameters in a dataset.

I do not really understand what exactly you want to do, however I'll make an edicated guess from this: now I am having a problem with step03 step03 exec pgm=sort sysin dd * skiprec=02,stopaft=25,skiprec=02,stopaft=01 /* First the sytax is not categorically wrong, it won't work the way it is written....

PARM has a specifc meaning when you talk about "Passing PARM to COBOL Program". The limit is 100 charachters.

Perhaps, you work by using SYSIN as described in this link apart from many other available on this Forum.

AFAIK - unless you are talking about composite-indexes, I think there will be no difference.

Said that, why not run EXPLAIN against two statements which had the order of where clause items reversed and check if there is any difference in the plan/access-path.

Same way as one "moves" any other DB2 table.

After a year and half, I think the original poster hardly needs it!

Thanks William. I've not been using SORT for a while now, so played safe...

Thanks 'gain for your comments & time,

Regards,

- so the problem is resolved?

venky, your latest question and the one at the start of this thread seems different, if you've new question - please remember to start a new thread. For the latest question, this is one way of doing it: //SORTIN DD * 001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 010 //SYSIN DD * OPTION COPY INREC FIELDS=(1,3,...

Please have a look at the thread Dick has pointed to, however, it'd be nice if you can show the JCL you've used and the error you get, if you've further question/s.

Contact your site support group explaining the problem and do what they tell you to fix it.

And you've not used the code tags yet.

Why don't you try something instead of just asking, venky?

Trying to read between the lines -- did you mean, "How to find the files which are allocated to CICS region"?
