Question { IBM, 37052 }

what is the difference between clear and reset opcodes and
open and close opcodes?please tell me in real time senario
with example please?

And

What is the use of SFLNXTCHG?Where we can use this?

Answer

clear and reset both opcodes are used for clearing the
fields.difference is that clear only clear but reset is
used for clear & then initialise the numeric fields with
zero and character with blanks.

OPEN & CLOSE opcodes are used for explicitly open and
close the file.In precise all files are automatically open
when these are processed by program bt at somepoint if we
want this should not be implicitly then open we use these
keywords.
SFLNXTCHG :Its always read those records which changed 2
or more times.this is declared in subfile(SFL) format not
SUBCTL format.

Question { 21449 }

Hey,

What is the difference between SCAN,CHECK,XLATE OPCODES?
please give me the answeres with example in real time
senario?

Answer

SCAN:this allows to locate a character or string of
character within a character field.e.g if we want a string
like 'abc'exist in a base string like 'mnoabcd'or not.
fact1 opcode fact2 result hi lo eq
'abc' scan 'mnoabcd' var-name 90
value of var_name=4 & indicator 90 will be on.
CHECK:this is just opposite of scan.findout absence of
character or string of character.
fact1 opcode fact2 result hi lo eq
'123456' check '111*1' var-name 90
value of var_namr=4 & indicator 9 will be off on this
position.
XLATE:convert to upercase charecter to lowercase character
or vice-varsa.
declare in input specification as record identification
codes.
I 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUV C UC
I WXYZ'
I 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv C LC
wxyz'
then uses in c-spec.
c UC:LC xlate any-name result length_dec
if fact2 is-RAHUL u will get rahul.
