There are three approches to cursor positioning.
1)static positioning.
by placing "IC" in the attrib parameter of DFHMDF for a
particuler field.
EX. DFHMDF POS=(3,16)
ATTRIB=(UNPROT,FSET,IC)
LENGTH=8
2)Dynamic symbolic positioning.
by using the symbolic name of the field
MOVE -1 TO THE LENGTH FIELD.
3)USING THE CURSOR IN THE SEND MAP.
EX. EXEC CICS SEND
MAP('............')
MAPSET('.........')
CURSOR(100)
END-EXEC.
the cursor will be placed at the position 100 of the
terminal relative to zero.......

I want to JCL sort for Non-COMP and COMP-3 fields SORT FIELDS=(1,5,A,6,11,A,12,11,A,19,1,A,20,1,A),FORMAT=BI,EQUALS Length of comp bytes is 11 bytes which start at 6byte and 12 byte considering 11 bytes in comp-3 is 6 bytes. Can anyone tell if the above sort work SORT FIELDS=(1,5,A,6,6,A,12,6,A,19,1,A,20,1,A),FORMAT=BI,EQUALS does not works OK

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
