Wrote my first COBOL program, but i think the code is running but at a certain point I think it is running in loops or not even taking up to read the ksds file. Can anyone check if there are any errors?

Have declared some temporary variables but haven't used them

Look at line 42 of your code, but given that you're a du-fu, that probably won't help you.

Check what?

Use standard COBOL debugging methods -- use DISPLAY statements, code review, dumps (if any), etc. -- to figure out what is going on in your program.

You can use Ration Developer for Z (RD/z) to debug Cobol programs. You can do debugging tasks like setting break points, and monitor variables.

note: my experience was with PLI; only assuming Cobol should work the same way.
