Justify right in COBOL

Tm2009 — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:33:56 +0000

I have data where the format has been changed slightly by the carrier and now this change is causing my job to abend. The last page number of each file reads ex.’160 OF 160′ however, the new format must read ’160 of 160′ which means that the last page number needs to justfied to the right to pos 68. This change only needs to be made at the end if the file. How do I accomplish this? Should there be a JUSTIFY command in the code below that will do this? IF END-OF-FILE-2 (RESPONSE-PAGE-A EQUAL RESPONSE-PAGE-B AND RESPONSE-OF EQUAL ‘ OF ‘) SET END-OF-MESSAGES TO TRUE GO TO 0300-EXIT.

AS/400 Debugging

Who — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 06:11:44 +0000

I am using STRISDB to debug my COBOL/400 progra. My object and source are in same libary. But, the debuggin is not working well. It’s not executing all the lines and it’s executing both the IF statement and else statements. It’s behaving mysterically. Could some one explain why this type of behaviour can happen with debugging. Thanks in advance.

I need help Debugging a Cobol CICS ADABAS application

Debugging a Cobol CICS ADABAS application. The App is very OLD and the COBOL Source is being updated to LE COBIII but the client (LOCAL GOV) doesn’t want to use CA intertest and the ADABAS Version is out of support v7.1 as of 2006. We have limited experience here in ADABAS so any help would be appreciated. A debuggin tool recomendation would be great
