post the code You used!
what happens when You run something along ...
| Code: |
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. HELLO-WORLD.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
DISPLAY 'Hello, world.'.
STOP RUN.
|
I do not speak COBOLESE ...
make the appropriate corrections in order to have the snippet compile properly
and see what happens when You run it!
watch out for the caps settings in Your ISPF edit session! |

if your ISPF Profile is set to CAPS ON, you will only have upper case characters in you source file.
what does your source file look like with respect to however you have coded the characters 'Hello World'.

Sigh....the version can be ascertained by looking at your compile output listing. |

| There is no impediment in COBOL to writing lower case data, as my example shows. If you're having a problem, it is either because your source data is not lower case, or you are forcing upper case somehow. |

If you review your compile listing, at the top of each page, it will indicate your COBOL version/release, such as (example only) -
| Code: |
IBM COBOL for OS/390 & VM 2.2.1
|
Is this homework?
