Hi,

We are changing an old cobol program which is having statement

WRITE RECORD1 FROM TEMP-RECORD AFTER POSITIONING REPORT-CC

Here REPORT-CC is having value '0'.

But when compiling we are getting error saying that "POSITIONING was not defined as a data-name".

Please help me to solve this.

regards
Ranjish

Ranjish,

I guess your program is OS/VS cobol program . POSITIONING verb was dropped from the COBOL-85 standard. You can use ADVANCING verb. You need to convert the values being moved to report-cc into numeric equivalents.
