What are the differences bitween cobol and cobol-2?
Answer Posted / nimsatprasad
There are at least five differences: COBOL II supports
structured programming by using in line PERFORMs and
explicit scope terminators, it introduces new features
(EVALUATE, SET .. TO TRUE, CALL .. BY CONTEXT, etc), it
permits programs to be loaded and addressed above the 16
megabyte line, it does not support many old features (READY
TRACE, REPORT-WRITER, ISAM, etc.), and it offers enhanced
CICS support.

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
