What do you mean "run in the USS environment"?
If you run the program interactively under the shell,
the DISPLAY output will go to the terminal
To run it in batch under BPXBATCH, DISPLAYs go to
the STDOUT file, if provided or, as Bill Klein
points out, you can set an environment variable
to designate the target. This must be an HFS
file, not a SYSOUT file.
Hope this helps.

I read the manual and discovered a reference to the SPECIAL-NAMES
paragraph and pointed it out to him. He said he rewrote the program to
use the
SPECIAL-NAMES but still no output.
I haven't programmed in COBOL for years. So, I am not as fluent in it
as I used to be.
My question is how does one setup a COBOL program to issue DISPLAYs in
the USS environment; where does the DISPLAY output go; and, finally,
what JCL is required for this?
Thank you.
