Where did you set a value for DA.0
It is only set automatically using EXECIO |

| Tell us why you would expect 3 for the output. There's nothing wrong with the code. |

The 'zero-th' stem variable is not populated by assigning values to any of the other stem variables. You should update DA.0 with whatever value you want - it's just another (stem) variable.

0 the elemet would be populated only if you read the file on stem variable.. and yeah there is catch.. you got to move the total number of records in 0 th element before you write the file..
So it is better to use 0 th element only while dealing with files.... |

Not true. Other system functions, such as GETMSG or OUTTRAP will also set the zero-eth element. But it is far from universal. |
