Welcome to the forums.

Perhaps the MSGCLASS is one that
a) Gets routed elsewher
b) Gets immediately deleted
Ask your peers as this may be site specific.

Code:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.                 
 PROGRAM-ID. TEST1.                       
 DATA DIVISION.                           
 WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.                 
 01     NUM1            PIC 9(5) VALUE 4.
 01     NUM2            PIC 9(5) VALUE 10.
 01     RES             PIC 9(6) VALUE 0.
 PROCEDURE DIVISION.                     
     ADD NUM1 TO NUM2 GIVING RES.         
     DISPLAY "RES" RES.                   
     STOP RUN.                 


Code:
 //RUN     EXEC PGM=TEST1                 
//STEPLIB DD DSN=sun004.XN.LOAD,DISP=SHR   
//SYSIN DD *                             
XYZ                                       
/*                                       
//SYSOUT  DD SYSOUT=*


Edited: Please use BBcode when You post some code, that's rather readable, Thanks...Anuj

Please note there are no ACCEPT statements or READ statements in the COBOL code. The XYZ is not being passed to the program. NUM1 and NUM2 have VALUE clauses.

SYSIN has nothing to do here.

As expat 1st pointed out, MSGCLASS is probably the key to where your DISPLAY went.

Also, to verify you are executing the program you think you are executing, it would help to add the DATE-COMPILED clause to your source and to display the WHEN-COMPILED register at execute time.

Hi,



The main problem with this code is missing ACCEPT statement. Coding is completely wrong. The data being sent should be numeric rather Alphanumeric.

Please re-read the code : XYZ is not used here.

Code is not completely wrong for a first exercise. It is just unnecessary extra code.

PeD,


Thanks for the correction, I was noticing with out ACCEPT statement JCL code will not move that value to the respective variable.

Vasanth: it is not wrong to have extraneous DD statements in a COBOL run job. The data won't be usable or referenced, but you can put almost as many extra DD statements as desired in the job (up to the operating system limit). The run job having //SYSIN DD * is not going to have anything happen with the data. The program does nothing with SYSIN so nothing will happen with any data after the SYSIN. Since the program didn't have any ACCEPT statement to start with, it probably wasn't supposed to have one.

Pahi: I have verified by compiling and running your code that you should get a line of output in the SYSOUT DD statement. If it is not showing up there, you need to discuss with your peers or system support staff what SYSOUT class to use for output you wish to display. Depending on how your system is set up, and the JOB statement options, your option could be automatically routed to a spool manager instead of allowing you to see it via SDSF, (E)JES, or the like. SYSOUT classes are extremely site dependent and we cannot tell you which class will work for you -- only someone at your site has that information.

Hi pahi,

Do a favor to us - post the SYSOUT of the JOB you execute.
