Generating Reports 1

[starter]

Anyone have any idea how can i generate error report on a separate file from my output file. Eg. I would need to print the errors occured in the program.
Can i open 2 files and print to 2 files at the same time ?

Is there any URL where i can get help from ?
Thanks.

Starter,

i don't know in what environment you are working, but COBOL is perfectly capable of processing (reading and/or writing) multiple files. Open two output files, or as many as you fancy, and write your output (= processed data) to one and your error report lines to another. Whether the error report file is actually written to a file or to a printer is no issue.

Good luck !

Starter,

if you are not completely familiar with COBOL as a language yet, you might want to check out this online manual:

I've heard it's very good.

Good luck !
