Hi all,
I have run a COBOl pgm, and a data is stored in a variable. I need the same data in the same variable in the consequent runs of the program. How is it possible? Can anyone help me on this?
Is there something like RESTORE?
Thanks,

Lax,
Save the values in a file and read it in next run. |

Hi murmohk,
But according to the standards and conventions specific to my requirement, i have some limitations for using additional files. Is there any other way?
Thanx,

lax,
I had already answered your question. If you get other way, then let us know. |

| But where else would it be stored if not in an external file. |

Thats what I wanted to know from TS. If he comes up with an unusual (rahter unique) way.... we can learn from his experience. |

I think the O/P needs to be more clearer when they mention "consequent runs of the program". In what type of environment are these occuring? Maybe the environment can hold the value(s).
Also, I don't know much about databases, but could a single data item be stored in a database table rather than in a dataset? |

I believe you are suggesting to store the values in a database as one record.
But TS second post says, 'limitation in using addl files'. I doubt he has the comfort of accessing database. That to for one record, a separate table needs to be created. Again pain ...... |

| Why the additional file liimitation? If this is for a non-technical reason, then the wrong group is running the show. If technical, then it better be a good one. |

Hello,

How did the data get into the variable?
Could the same method not be used for all of the other processes that need the same value?
It came from "somewhere" and i suspect that same "where" could be used multiple times. |
