Hi All,
This is Anand, I am having a doubt on COBOL<
i am having a code like...

IF VAR-1 = SPACE<br>
DISPLAY '*** MISSING VARIABLE ONE***'<br>
in this code, the string (*** MISSING VARIABLE ONE***) will present in the SPOOL(SYSOUT).
Can we make that bold in the SYSOUT. *** MISSING VARIABLE ONE***
Please reply me.
with regards,
Aanand

By COBOL NO. Dont know if any Mainframe Simulator offers you this facility, well, that'll also be for whole screen.
