What is CALL statement in COBOL?
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks

OPEN INPUT FILE-1. IF CHECK-KEY1 > 0 DISPLAY "OPEN ERROR FOR FILE-1, CODE IS:" CHECK-KEY1 END-IF. OPEN EXTEND NEWFILE-1 IF CHECK-KEY3 > 0 DISPLAY "OPEN ERROR FOR NEWFILE-1 COD IS" CHECK-KEY3 END-IF. PERFORM READ-PARA THRU EXIT-PARA UNTIL EOF-REC = 'YES'. DISPLAY " FINALLY OUT OF LOOP" CLOSE FILE-1 CLOSE NEWFILE-1 STOP RUN. READ-PARA. ADD 1 TO I READ FILE-1 AT END MOVE 'YES' TO EOF-REC IF I > 3 AND < 10 PERFORM WRITE-PARA ELSE DISPLAY "NOT IN RANGE" END-IF. EXIT-PARA. EXIT. WRITE-PARA. WRITE NEW-REC FROM FILE1-REC.
