Hi Harsh,

I think you can have a conditional execution of the paragraphs.
You can use IF-THEN - ELSE construct of the COBOL language.

I can't think of a possibility of the same being achieved via VSAM/DFSORT.

Please post this topic on COBOL forum rather than on VSAM/DFSORT.

Thanks,
Parikshit.

Hi Harsh,

You can use IF then Else or Goto Statement or Evaluate statements for this type of situation.
