Thanks for everybodys help. I am studying the article suggested by MarcLodge and hope to get it implemented in the next couple of days. This project was suppose to just take a day or two - ha ha - and I still need to keep my main projects going. Again I appreciate everybodys help - you're a...

Thanks for everyones help and guidance. I ended us using WMK's suggestions. I initially tried using the inhouse assembler routines but it was real messy. I then looked at the method WMK suggested and did a little research on the internet, coming up with this link...

Thanks ETOM and WMK. I discovered we have an assembler routine available here that supposedly works (Ican't find anybody who has used it), so I will give this a try first. However I'm very interested in WMK's solution. I will check it out also. It sounds very interesting and perhaps more...

On an IBM Mainframe I need to be able to read a single input file and create an unknown number of output files based on the data in the input file. My problem is that the file names of the output files need to be based on the data from the input file (i.e. if the input file contains ABC756 in a...

In the good ol' days when memory was at a premium we would need to break a program into sections if it was too large to load into the available memory. On the Burroughs/Unisys systems that I worked on (and I don't know if IBM is/was the same way) only the section of the program being referenced...

Thanks for the quick response. I have use the file-status codes before but never with the declaratives section. The main thing I am trying to find out in using the declaratives section is a way to avoid coding the 'USE AFTER STANDARD ERROR PROCEDURE ON file-name' for each file I am using. This...

Can someone provide an example of using the declarative statement to track down bad data problems? I have a program that uses many, many input files and I would like a rtn that would at a minimum tell me which file had the problem. I hope this is clear enough for someone to comment on. Thanks...
