Hello,

If you would like someone here to help, you have to provide something to work with. . .

It would have been very difficult to mention which cobol you are using? Did you look in the documentation for you version of cobol for external? If not, why not?

If you did, what did you find?

Do you still have questions or are you hoping some answer will appear as a reply here?

The single biggest factor getting help here is how well you participate.
