you have coding like this :
Working Storage Section.
77 I-page pic 99 value zero.
77 J-col pic 99 value zeroes.
77 K-record pic 99 value zeroes.
Procedure Division.
Perform 1000-move varying I-page from 1 by 1 until
I-page > 3
after J-col from 1 by 1 until
J-col > 2
after K-record from 1 by 1 until
K-record > 20.

1000-move.
move a-field to ws-record (I-page, J-col, K-record).

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
