 Posted: Mon Jan 06, 2003 10:46 am Post subject: Few Questions in COBOL |
 |
|
Hi,
Can anyone let me know answers to the following
1) How we can check palindrome in Cobol ex: string 'AKA' in other way is also 'AKA'
2) Upcase and lowercase of a string ex:abc to be converted as ABC and vise versa
3) Reverse a string say ex: 1234 is to be converted as 4321? is it thru Reverse video?
4) File status for 'open' problem in a SEQ file is it 90 or 92?
5)How can we find out no. of records in a PS file where when we don't have access to it even Browse?
Thanks in adv

ST,
1. | Code: |
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
01 MY-STRING PIC X(3) VALUE 'AKA'.
01 REV-STRING PIC X(3).
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
MOVE FUNCTION REVERSE(MY-STRING) TO REV-STRING
IF MY-STRING = REV-STRING
DISPLAY 'THE GIVEN STRING IS A PALINDROME'
ELSE
DISPLAY 'THE GIVEN STRING IS NOT A PALINDROME'
END-IF
GOBACK.

2.Converting to uppercase or lowercase (UPPER-CASE, LOWER-CASE)
3.Converting to reverse order (REVERSE)
4.For sequential files the open error is 05 and for vsam files it is 35.
5.You cannot find the no: of records if you don't have access to browse the file.
Hope this helps...
cheers

ST,
There are so many ways to find the no: of records in a file.check this link for various ways to find the no: of records in a file.
Counting no: of records in a file
But if you don't have access to browse the dataset, then none of solutions listed in the above link will work.All the batch jobs will abend with S913 with a reason code 38.
Hope this helps...
cheers

The palindroome check would work only when the string completely occupies the variable field.
Eg.Won't work for this.
01 str pic x(10) value "rar ".
rev-str = " rar" |
