Begin0404,

If you are having the MS compiler please use the following.

1)To compile your program use the following.

COBOL (PROGRMA NAME)

It will prompt you for .LST and another file.

Give the same name or some thing diffrent.

then to view your compile listing ,
2) TYPE *.lst (* is the name u specified in the previous for LST file)
here u can see the compile listing and bugs(if were there)

to run the program

3)runcob (program name)

Hope this will help.

Regards
