Which COBOL compiler version? Are you using a debugger or not? AFAIK, there is no 'STANDBY' command in z/OS COBOL.
DISPLAY works well to show variable values. |

Robert,
it is 'Standby your <variable>', by Tammy Wynette. |

no such thing,
you are using either OS390 COBOL, COBOLII or Enterprise COBOL in a z/OS operating system.

what told you that? Had you shared the error with us we could be more detailed/direct with our response.
As it is, can only show you the manual:
DISPLAY <variable name>
you don't need the UPON or WITH phrase. |

From where do you remember this?
And for the music buffs, also "Standby Me" from Ben E. King. . . |
