A good way is to check in the manuals about how to set compiler options. Also look it up, and see what it does. When someone gives you a gun and suggests you pull the trigger, check what it is loaded with first.

One way is CBL ADV as first line in your program (or anywhere before procedure division if you want no-one to be able to find it easily). Check in the manual about what columns are OK, or just try it.

man, forget the options stuff, it will take another week to educate the ts on compiler options.

just, simply do 1 of 2 things:

remove 'after advancing' from your WRITE statement
extend you output record 1 char, and do not put anything in the 1st character.

Hello,

You need to get permission BEFORE modifying any of the compiler options. . .

Some places will not accept code that has changes to the "standard" compiler options for promotion.

Suggest you do as DBZ suggests.

Yes, sorry. Topic dragging on so long, I forgot that we were only asking what it was set to originally.

Hopefully this is the end, and the outstanding question about AFTER ADVANCING 2 can continue to be ignored if TS gets output that is wanted.
