Kolusu,

Very nice find - that is indeed similar to what I am seeing.

Thanks,

Hi Kolusu. I realize that ON SIZE ERROR would prvent the condition all together. The system that I am working with is very old and has plenty of COMPUTE statements without ON SIZE ERROR - so updati ...

I have come across a odd handling of divide by zero abends within COBOL/LE. I can easily recreate this same behavior under CICS or batch. Take the following test cases:

Test Case #1

Never mind! I see we can get storage above the line.

In CICS assembler programs dynamic storage is aquired within the DFHEIENT macro expansion as per the storage layout in between DFHEISTG and DFHEIEND. In testing it appears that this storage is always ...

I am pretty sure SUBASE is an equate that represents a register. . . .so use of BAL would likely crash and burn with an operation or protection exception.

Very Happy

Hi Kolusu,

Yes - we are using z/OS V1 R4. Thanks for the info!

Hi. I am working on some logic that must work with a 64 bit binary value, convert it to a packed decimal value, and do some calculations. I noticed some 64-bit instruction that would make my task ea ...

Back when I at college (NIU 1985 - 1991) I took a CICS course that used a batch testing tool. NIU did not have resources to give each student a stand alone region. I believe it was an IBM batch tool ...

OK - sorry if I jumped the gun. It sounded to me like you simply did not want to be forthcoming with an answer that you knew off the top of your head.

In any event it looks like what I said is c ...

Well it sounds like you know the answer but didn't want to share . . . gee thanks. (I did look in the DB2 Application Programming and SQL Guide but did not come across any clear specification of the ...

It also depends where the copybooks live. If they are in LINKAGE then they won't add to the storage requirements of the program. However if they are in WORKING STORAGE then they certainly will have ...

Without a good understanding of base/displacement addressing it is almost impossible to code in z/Architecture assembly language because so much depends on it.

Now with that being said you may ha ...

Hello. I wanted to get verification on the maximum length of text that can be passed as dynamic SQL to DB2 in a COBOL program. All examples I have come across use a length field defined as PIC S9(4 ...

Hi. I have been doing a lot of batch and on-line debugging over the past month. I accidentally slipped a COBOL DISPLAY verb into an on-line program I was testing. Historically I recall the use of D ...
