Hi Friends,
1) Is there any difference between

SET PTR-A TO ADDRESS OF PRINT-LINE-A
SET ADDRESS OF PRINT-LINE-A TO PTR-A

Where PTR-A is the pointer and PRINT-LINE is a linkage section item

2) What do u mean by this and whose address is stored where??
SET ADDRESS OF FILE-IO-AREA-A TO
ADDRESS OF ONE-K-BLOCK
(MOD-LENGTH:1).

Please let me know..thanx in advance..

Regards,
Lal

Lal,

Please post in approriate forum, as this topic related to programming it should be posted in "Application Programming" forum.

1. No difference. Check this link for explanation of SET statement

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IGY3LR10/6.2.33.5?SHELF=&DT=20020920180651&CASE=

2.FILE-IO-AREA-A is the Receiving field.It must be level-01 or level-77 items defined in the linkage section. The addresses of these item are set to the value of the operand specified in the TO phrase which is ONE-K-BLOCK

ONE-K-BLOCK is the Sending field. It must name an item of any level except 66 or 88 in the linkage section, the working-storage section, or the local-storage section.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
