1. Use HEX ON and HEX OFF to see the hexadecimal value hidden behind the dots.
2. Use F11/F10 to scroll right and left.
3. Is there only one dotted line or are there also other text lines ?
4. What do you expect to find ?
5. What do you mean by "I initialized output file" |

If I understand what you said, you see something like this -
| Code: |
File Edit Edit_Settings Menu Utilities Compilers Test Help
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VIEW XXXXXX.XXX.ASM Columns 00001 00072
Command ===> Scroll ===> HALF

- This is NOT a Cobol issue. It is an ISPF issue. I hope a moderator will move this topic to the appropriate forum.
- You are not opening the data set (NOT "file") in browse mode. You are opening the data set in "view" mode.
- The data set is empty. There is no data in the data set.
- In browse mode, you see
| Code: |
Menu RefList RefMode Utilities Workstation Help
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
View Entry Panel Empty data set or member
Command ===>
ISPF Library:
Project . . . X
Group . . . . X . . . . . . . . .
Type . . . . X
Member . . . (Blank or pattern for member selection list)
Other Partitioned, Sequential or VSAM Data Set:
Data Set Name . . . XXX.ASM
Volume Serial . . . (If not cataloged)
Workstation File:

Data Set Password . . / Warn on First Data Change
Mixed Mode |
Notice the Empty data set or member on the third line. You do not see Browse mode selected on this screen to open the data set in "view" mode. |

Now, on the other hand. if you actually see something like this
| Code: |
Menu Utilities Compilers Help
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BROWSE XXXXXX.XXX.OBJ Line 00000000 Col 001 080
Command ===> Scroll ===> PAGE
********************************* Top of Data **********************************

Then, most likely, YOUR program wrote junk to the data set, which was how the data set I am displaying was created. Since you have not shared any details about the program, WE cannot diagnose the problem. |

So far, you have not posted a single thing that we can use to help you.

Don't tell us -- show us. Post an ISPF browse of the first few lines of the data set so we can see what the computer is telling us (as opposed to what you are interpreting the computer to be telling you). |

| And post it with 'hex on' and using the code tags (I coded your previous code) so that the data is properly presented. |
