Is the variable-length file a 2nd-File or are you attempting to define a fixed-length file as variable-length?
As far as the COBOL definition of a variable-length file, you will find examples of this in the COBOL forum, dating back many years.
The definition can also be found in your applicable COBOL manual.
Have you Googled this?

Hello,
At the top of the page is a link to "IBM Manuals". The first set of material is COBOL. Pick the Language Reference for your version of cobol and search (the flashlight/tubelight near the top left) for "recording mode".
If you find something that is not clear, post what you found and your doubt about it.
Someone will be able to clarify. |
