Hi T.Blom, Sorry about the late reply, have been busy with other stuff and didn't get to read my mails till now. I'll try to explain with an example: File layout in JCL unload Field1 10 Field2 10 Field3 26(nullable) Field4 14 Field5 5 The size of the file is supposed to be 65. Instead...

Hi, I'm trying to unload records from a table to a file using the Platinum batch utility. The problem I'm facing is that one of the fields is being returned with a couple of extra characters in front - this is a nullable field of 26 characters, a timestamp to be precise. Can anyone tell me...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me whether we can execute a DB2 stored procedure in batch mode on the mainframe OS390 from middleware? Right now, I'm executing it in real-time and it keeps timing out. Maxdp -----

The SP is running on the mainframe OS390.

Hi, A stored procedure times out when the middleware calls this SP for opening a DB2 cursor in real-time. the middleware waits for the SP's response to come back but finally it times out. Is there a way of triggering this SP in batch mode from middleware so that there is no time out of the...

Thanks again for the response, Marc. I haven't tried out the evaluation copy yet. The reason I was looking at the formatter is to cut out the programming time required for it, if possible. ***************

Thanks, Marc! I should've obviously included the experience of the developer - around 5-6 yrs mainframe experience but this is probably one of his first real DB2 programs. Anyway, your estimate is of great help. Thanks for responding. **********

Also, does anyone know whether there are any freeware/shareware mainframe COBOL source code formatters? *****

Hi, Can anyone give me an estimate of how long it would normally take to code a file-to-table mainframe COBOL/DB2/VSAM extract program with the following statistics? Input files : 2 Input tables/cursors : 25 (around 300 fields) Output tables : 3 Only essential error checks...
