I thought our company would keep COBOL forever but it is going fast, SAP is replacing all our mainframe systems and should be complete by 2004. The code is not being rewritten into JAVA or C++ or anything like that, entire systems are being replaced. I've been in COBOL for 30 years now and I'm...

I put DISPLAY messages in my on-line program and they come out on the system log under IOF. This may be installation dependent so it may not work on your system.

I read an article that said something like 70% of workers telecommute. I've only known the wife of one guy I worked with who telecommuted. Turns out the company that did the research said if you made even 1 phone call to your office, you were telecomutting. So much for statistics. I think I...

You might checkout Computerworld for salary surveys of DP positions. This will give you an idea of what people are making with what experience level with what qualifications. I feel $100k is overly optimistic based on what you have given. A site that has 'real' jobs is www.dice.com. You can...

When I have this problem it is usually associated with a JCL problem, not enough memory on the JOB card. Try REGION=0K and that will get all the memory available on the computer.

I am not sure if you have a typo, but you should use the DYNAM option, not the NODYNAM. I am assuming you changed CALL 'SUBROUTINE' to CALL SUBROUTINE. Hope this helps Shankar.
