ON LINE PROGRAM 1

[claudeb]

Hi,
I have an on-line program that doesn't work properly in the production environment and one of the test environment, but works perfectly on the other test environment.
The problem is that we are able to dispaly only one screen instead of several for a given policy, with a message asking to press "enter" to continue to display the rest of information. but nothing happens and the program doesn't crash or stall !
what do you think i should look for ?
thanks for your help

1st - make sure you are running the same object on all
3 machines - the program that works on 1 test machine
may have new code that isnt on the 2 that dont work
( i doubt it - but that would be too easy -lol)
2nd - look at the code where the accept is - after
the display of "press enter to continue" - follow the
logic and see what causes the next screen to show
3rd - maybe the 2 machines that dont work have different
data and there isnt anymore to show
4th - use a debug utility that will show you cobol code
as it executes and see what happens after the accept

hope this helps a little -

Hi,

There are differences of course between the environments.
Is the program compiled again to put it on the other environment? Did it get the same parms? Does it get the same memory size? Does it get the same data?

Tell us what you know what the differences can be.
