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?

I will try to answer as per my understanding on the
behaviour.
With cobol-2 junk values- This is because the the 40 bytes
are not properly initialized and so the system puts some
junk values.
With enterprise cobol - spaces- I beleive that the
enterprise cobol before using an work arean intialize it by
itself and then use it. that is the reason why the unused
40 bytes had spaces.
My answer is just an assumption

What is the difference between PIC 9.99 and 9v99 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
