Note :
File layout is 80 , 800 for fixed files and record varying for 10 to 80 chars for variable files . |

Yeah! The post is not very clear.
Any way, soome years ago I had the same trouble. Try to look into Cobol Manuals a loof for "Depending on" on variables definition. |

Hi,
Forget about layout for a second, & let me know do you know how do we deifine FD entries in COBOL, if yes 'paste' those entries in member of some PDS, that'll work as COPYBOOK.

In variable layout, after 9th postion You might have a COBOl table entry like this
| Code: |
05 SOME-DATA.
07 SOME-COUNT PIC S9(03) COMP-3.
07 SOME-TABLE OCCURS 0 TO 70 TIMES
DEPENDING ON SOME-COUNT
INDEXED BY SOME-IDX.
10 TABLE DEFINITION... |
which will make COPYBOOK of varaible length.
Not sure what exactly You are looking for, jsut hope above helps. If not, try to seach in Manuals on key word FD/COPYBOOKs, these things are well documented there. |
