Hi,
I am trying below code
Code:

CALL_STMT = "CALL 'MODULE1' USING "
CALL_STMT1 = "CALL "MODULE2" USING "
SAY CALL_STMT
SAY CALL_STMT1

SPACES = " "
DOUBLE_QUOTE = '"'
SINGLE_QUOTE = "'"

TRANSLATE(CALL_STMT,SPACES,SINGLE_QUOTE)
TRANSLATE(CALL_STMT1,SPACES,DOUBLE_QUOTE)
SAY CALL_STMT
SAY CALL_STMT1
 


Expected output is
Code:

CALL MODULE1 USING
CALL MODULE2 USING


I am trying - To read the COBOL program, when there is a call statement in the line, I should take out the single and double quotes which are using to values of literal for cobol static call programs, then called program name will be separated using PARSE VAR CALLDUMMY PGMNAME.

While running above code I am getting below error

Code:

'CALL"MODULE1"USING"' is not recognized as an internal command
'CALL"MODULE2"USING"' is not recognized as an internal command


also when i try to execute below loops but both the loops are not satisfied

Code:


IF POS(SINGLE_QUOTE,CALL_STM1) THEN
   SAY 'LINE HAS SINGLE QUOTE'

IF POS(DOUBLE_QUOTE,CALL_STM1) THEN
   SAY 'LINE HAS DOUBLE QUOTE'

I need the above check - to make sure it is static call - If i dont have any quotes then i will move the line to dynamic call stem[/code]

help me in achieving above

Hi,

When I try to hard code values as mentioned above, it not working for ""

Var1 = "CALL "MODULE2" USING"

here it interprets "CALL " ---> as a literal, MODULE2 ---> as variable/string, " USING" --> as literal, which is why pos and translate are not working.

When I try reading the same from a file - this is working - Strange - not sure how.

However, I am going to read cobol module (input) from file only, so am good. Thank you icon_smile.gif

Maybe you should go to the Beginners Forum, as you're very obviously way too clueless to be posting on a forum for experts!

Show us a trace. I get different results than you:
Code:
     11 *-* TRANSLATE(CALL_STMT,SPACES,SINGLE_QUOTE) 
        >>>   "CALL  MODULE1  USING "                 
 INVALID KEYWORD, USING                               
        +++ RC(12) +++                               


Your use of:
Code:
TRANSLATE(CALL_STMT,SPACES,SINGLE_QUOTE)

shows a misunderstanding of TRANSLATE. I think it should be:
Code:
call_stmt = TRANSLATE(CALL_STMT,SPACES,SINGLE_QUOTE)
