In COBOL what do I have to code to get an under-line. Do I have to move any values in column 0 or 1.

Lacoe1,

Simply define a working storage variable as shown below. And use the variable in the write statement.

Kolusu,
The underline has to happen on the same line where data has been written, NOT ON THE NEXT LINE.

Since the data created by the cobol pgm goes is printed on a form with Boxes, if the underline is on the next line, it will go outside the box. The pre-printed boxes are not so spaceous.

That's the problem.

Some one suggested
with + in column 1 will print on the same line as data causing underline. Do I move '+' in the first column?

lacoe1,

Yes you can use the carriage control character '+' in the first byte which causes the printer to over-type on the same line.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
