I don't believe what you're wanting can be done. DISPLAY goes to the next line starting at position one unless WITH NO ADVANCING is used. If WITH NO ADVANCING is added to the DISPLAY, a + carriage control character is used instead of space but the DISPLAY still starts at position one each time.
Either use CICS Guy's suggestion, or use a STRING command to build your output characters and then use a single DISPLAY statement. |

You wont be able to achieve this with no advancing feature.Please go through the following link :WITH NO ADVANCING
As everyone has suggested,please go by the simple approach.

| Code: |
| DISPLAY '*' WITH NO ADVANCING |
is the syntax. To reiterate what I said earlier, though, it will not do what you want -- you will get one asterisk in column 2, repeated 4 times with overprint. There will not be any asterisks in columns 3, 4, 5, or 6. |

Hi
Yes, as per your code it will display the "*" line by line only because your display statement is get execute one by one for 5 times. ie., each time it takes as one new line.
To avoid this you can use the Row&Column and display it. |
