There comes the time when it is beneficial to format the current date and time. The following COBOL sub routine does exactly that. Notice the usage of move corr (esponding)…
This example demonstrates how to use available COBOL sub programs to perform reproduction of 80 column records. This framework hands you the underpinnings clone source code. The following code describes…
This routine’s function is quite simple.It’s only function is to execute the goback command. Almost every program uses goback at least once. By using this approach COBOL programs avoid code…
There is something strange about return code when you use ISPF service calls. This article will outline the steps taken and code involved so you may trace this development effort…
There comes a time when the trailing blanks of a string need to be counted. This COBOL sub program tells you the length of a string based on a 500…
The COBOL programming language is very versatile in the MVS environment. There are many practical applications for the use and implementation of solutions using COBOL. The BCS COBOL Development Tool…
Now the fun begins. A dialog has been designed that produces a pick list of objects from the pds.obj partitioned data set. When the desired member is clicked the name…
There are those occasions when file conversions may be necessary. When that time comes simply use a COBOL program to solve the problem. By placing the programs in the load…
There are those times when it is beneficial to invoke the linkage editor to make executable programs from compiled object code. The following clist (command list) for MVS fill the…
