Hi,
I am having a program which is being called by another program . A part of the linkage section is pasted here.
_________________________________________________
LINKAGE SECTION.

01 WL-001-REPORT-FUNCTION
VALUE space PICX.

COPY WA999950.

01 WL-003-HOLD-CYCLE-DATES.
05 WL-003-CYCLE-DATE-MMDDYY
PIC 9(06).
05 WL-003-CYCLE-DATE-PRINT PIC X(10).
05 WL-003-PROCESSING-DATE PIC X(10).
05 WL-003-PROCESSING-TIME PIC X(08).
___________________________________________________
I already have the output from the calling program, in a data set.
how do i map those values see the data in the format shown in the linkage section?

I have heard of file aid option but can i use it to view in the format specified in the linkage section??????

Hi

If i got ur requirement right
1> u already have linkage data from calling program in a dataset??
2> no u want to map the dataset generated in step 1
then waht u can do is first copy all ur linkage
and make a new copy book with decalartion

01 WL-001-REPORT-FUNCTION
VALUE space PICX.

COPY WA999950.

01 WL-003-HOLD-CYCLE-DATES.
05 WL-003-CYCLE-DATE-MMDDYY
PIC 9(06).
05 WL-003-CYCLE-DATE-PRINT PIC X(10).
05 WL-003-PROCESSING-DATE PIC X(10).
05 WL-003-PROCESSING-TIME PIC X(08).

==> say copybook-1

now map ur dataset of step 1 with the coopy book copybook-1

Please let me know if i got u right if so do u need any more on this

Hi sandeep1dimri ,

I made the copybook and used file aid to view the values , but it says the copybook is not cataloged!!!! do i need to do something else too after creating the copybook and then use file aid??

BTW thanks for the earlier reply
