hi all,
i am new to cobol programming and assigned project in cobol on as/400 platform...i studied that for every file handled in a cobol program you have to first assign it to a dummy file name and then use those file name variables in the program..one day our manager asked this question: is it possible to use a file without defining any temporary variables (i.e dummy file names)....i am not sure about this.. can someone clear me on this????
Thank you
