Answer / vish

I don't think that such type of questions can be ever asked
in any interview but still trying to ansewr to this
question. Every system uses some tools for code management
(to be very specific code version management) e.g. ENDEVOR,
CHANGEMAN, PANVALET, ELIPS etc. Almost all such tools
provide an option to copy the code from production region
to a local PS/PDS. And there will be another option to copy
the code from local PS/PDS to development region. Normally
these tools do not provide a facility to copy a code
direclty from production to dev region. If they provide
then use the option to copy it else copy the code to local
PS/PDS then from there move it to Dev region.

I have a source program compiled with Cobol-2. The output file has a record length of 100 defined in the program but a record of 60 bytes getting written into it. i.e. The rest of 40 bytes I am not Writing anything. But it by default puts some values into the last 40 bytes. However it does not impact anything. But when Compiled the module with Enterprise Cobol the last 40 bytes were spaces as fillers. Can anyone explain?

How do u debug a S0C7 abend? (aswered till we get the field which caused that) After knowing the field which caused that how do u know the record which caused that if it is in production env? (dumb) Ok let us assume that we got to know that 100th record caused that and I wanted to skip only 100th record from the file and process from 101th. How to do that in JCL using SORT? (tried with STOPAFT but ended up dumb when he said smthing else is ther)
