Hi Friends.
I need a sample of cobol code that can result in the same line display after specifying two consecutive write statements.
eg.
WRITE rec-1 and
WRITE rec-2 should be displayed like
"rec-1rec-2" in the resultant file.

Thanks.

Write to what?
Several combinations of before, after and without positioning or advancing can provide your desired output to a printer.
What are you trying to do?

Thanks friends.
I have achieved the desired result by first STRINGing the records and then WRITE to the file.

You said in your original post, you wanted result with TWO write statements. I think you've used only one WRITE right??
