Hi ,
The value of field RPT3-REC-TYPE is not coming properly in o/p file. It is truncating 1st byte in some case and in some case it printing correctly.
| Code: |
20 REPORT-3-KEY-AREA.
25 RPT3-REC-TYPE PIC X(02).
25 RPT3-REC-TYPE-FL PIC X(01) VALUE ';'.
25 RPT3-PROC-MTH PIC X(08).
25 RPT3-PROC-MTH-FL PIC X(01) VALUE ';'.
25 RPT3-DLR PIC X(06).
25 RPT3-DLR-FL PIC X(01) VALUE ';'.
25 RPT3-COMPANY-CODE PIC X(01).
25 RPT3-COMPANY-CODE-FL PIC X(01) VALUE ';'.
25 RPT3-ADDRESS PIC X(35).
|
In procedure division we are moving the following values in multiple places.
MOVE '02' TO RPT3-REC-TYPE
MOVE '03' TO RPT3-REC-TYPE
Finally we are writings into output file. As RPT3-REC-TYPE is pic X(2) hence it should contain either ‘02’ or ‘03’ in 1st two positions.
We verify the Output file. The 1st two byte contains ‘2’ instead of ‘03’. For 03 it’s writing into output file as ‘03’. Please suggest us what‘s the actual problem is.

1) Is it a space?
2) Is it all the 02's?
3) Is it just the first 02?
4) Is there one of the many 02's in your program (horrible) that isn't actually an 02 but has that value?
5) Are you running with SSRANGE on?

Is it possible for you to paste:
(1) record area as defined in working storage(and the variable(s) defined before it).
(2) code for output field population and writing.
Without seeing the full code one can only guess about the possible problem. |

1. yes first byte it writing as spaces.
2. No all are not 02. It depends on record type. i need to print record type in 1st two byte. Insome cases it is 01, 02, 03, 4A, 4B, 4C,4D, 05,06 and so on.
3. And record tpe i am hard coding into program as 02, 03 and so on.
4. SSRANGE is not used. |

fro what reason You are posting an attachment in windoze format, containing a screen shot,
wasting 70KB
when a plain cut an paste in text format surrounded by the code tags will take 160 bytes and carry the same info
like this
| Code: |
0 Settings Terminal and user parameters User ID . : ENRICO
1 View Display source data or listings Time. . . : 08:40
|
will carry the same info in a way much more understandable
furthermore not everybody can download attachments, limiting the number of people willing to help
the attachment has been deleted
just a hint,
did You consider that for a print <file/dataset> the first char usually contains the printer control char ( DSORG=FBA/VBA ) ??? |

Hi,
For our o/p file the DSORG is FBA.
When i try to print for record type 03 it printing correctly as 03 but for record type 02 it printing as 2.
So What shall i do?
I tried to cut & paste the o/p file but it was coming in tesx format black and white. How do we cut and paste in mainframe screen layout as u deed in above form. |

In edit mode for record type 03 it is showing as 03 and for record type 02 it is showing as 2.
Whereas in browse mode for 03 it is showing as 3 and for 02 it showing 2. |

For those who joined late, this is what the dataset in teh screenshot supplied by TS had:
| Code: |
2;04-30-11;72000 ;1;2 AGAR ST. ;NY;43328;OTHER
03;04-30-11;72000 ;1;2 AGAR ST. ;NY;43328;SPRINT |
I have manually typed in the two records(column 1 to 72). Apologies if there's any typo error. |

Good spot enrico.
Concentrate on this Vidya. Why are you defining your output file with print file DSORG? Change it to FB. Have a look at the output. |

| You want your report to look like that? OK, you have a report, then you have to have carriage control characters. How do they work? Look in the manual. |

Hi ,
i have given DCB parameters as: DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=300,BLKSIZE=3000)
Record format is FB and i have not mentioned DSORG anywhere. |

So, no RECFM=FBA.
Blanks and zeros are ANSI print control characters associated with FBA.
When you say "When i try to print" what do you mean? Are you browsing your actual file, or a print that you have done somehow of your actual file? |

What does the SELECT statement look like for this file?
What does the WRITE statement look like for this file?
Your basic issue is that something in COBOL is changing your file from FB to FBA, so you need to find out what is doing it. The most likely culprits are your SELECT statement or the WRITE statement. |

Select statement is as:
SELECT PRINTER-TAPE-OT-T ASSIGN TO UT-S-WC280TT
And print statement is:
WRITE PRINT-LINE-T FROM WS-PRINT-LINE-T
AFTER ADVANCING 1 LINES, |

So, as suggested previously, look up in the Cobol manual how to use a print file, and where your first byte is going and how you are getting a byte, sometimes it being the same as the one you lost.
Why are you writing them as print records if they are 300 chars long? A very small FCB? Or not intending print at all? Or just what they wanted on the "tape" or what? |

using that construct will force an FBA/VBA dcb
time to do a bit of reading Yourself on the
WRITE ... ADVANCING
and the relative consideration on compiler option ADV/NOADV and the consequent use of the first CHAR of the record as a control char.
it would be proper to never mix WRITE and WRITE ADVANCING on the same dataset |

I'm curious, why did you think it was in working-storage?
How many times has anyone posted the "full code" in this forum? Or is it only this time that we'd have to "guess" without the full code? |

Bill, if you hang around -- get used to guessing. Even when "full code" is posted, more often than not it is retyped and not cut / pasted so it has typos and obvious syntactic errors. |

I know what you mean, Robert. Thing was, Nihal seemed to be suggesting resolution not possible without full listing. Somehow, a resolution, led by enrico, emerged. "good spot" not "good guess". First character of file replaced by blanks and zeros (or what ANSI dictates in this instance) look for "printer" characteristics making the mess. No full listing needed, experience and abilitity.
Many times people "guess" based on their experience. Other times we say "we can only guess" which means we have not enough information to do anything with the problem. |
