COBOL Interview Questions.

Post by rangab » Thu Apr 20, 2006 6:20 pm

Hi,

I've two questions.

1). How to set a subscript or index to zero AUTOMATICALLY when it reaches it's max count. We should not use any "move 0 to subscript" or "set index to 0" in the code. Is it possible?

2). How to execute a program on Friday's only with COBOL logic? Is this possible too?

Any help?

It is simple you know.........

Suppose, you've a field defined as PIC 9(02) and it allows only 99 to be the max count. Once the counter reaches 100........bingo.......it is set to "0" automatically.

Regarding the Friday thing, probably you need to know the dates that of year 2006 (any other year) on which Friday comes and do the coding accordingly.

HTH.
