| Jose Mateo: actually, you're not right in stating BLKSIZE should be 117. The COBOL code has BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS, which indicates that the block size will be set by the JCL and COBOL will use the system block size. The JCL has BLKSIZE=0, which is used by the system to indicate that the maximum block size for the device should be used. For disk, the block size will be as close to 27998 (half-track) as possible while for tape the block size will be as close to 32760 as possible. Block size will be 27963 for a disk file, which is implied by the UNIT and SPACE parameters of the JCL. |

| Angeline: something is causing the COBOL program to use the first byte of the record as carriage control. It is not obvious from your posts what that something is. Your best workaround, in the absence of a solution, is to add a filler byte to the beginning of the record and change the file to 118 bytes instead of 117. The original 117 bytes are preserved in bytes 2 through 118 of the output record -- you'll have to make the code change(s) to support this. You can add a step to your job after the program execution to use IEBGENER to copy the 118-byte-record file to a 117-byte-record file. |

I have nothing to add in the way of a solution, all of you have given your input.
BUT, I have seen too many times where the REQUESTER gives incomplete information and you folks have to keep asking for more information.
For this one - the request came in --- Fri Apr 01, 2011 12:10 pm and you folks started answers within 3 minutes. With back and forth conversations, it took 4 hours for the requester to give you enough data to solve the problem.
You folks are very patient. Congratulations |

What do you mean by that? Is your program writing report lines to another output DD?
If so, check if you by mistake have referenced your data output in any of the statements belonging to report output. |
