As a further clarification to the discussion, this is from "The IBM OS/VS COBOL Compiler and Library Programmer's Guide", SC28-6483, page 483:
The ILBOSPIO subroutine is called by an explicit CALL statement written by the COBOL programmer in his source program to be compiled with FLOW, STATE, SYMDMP and/or COUNT options. There should be one CALL statement written at the beginning of the Procedure Division and following each ENTRY statement in the program. There should be one CALL statement written at each exit point in the program, i.e., preceding each GOBACK, EXIT PROGRAM, or STOP RUN statement. These CALL statements are effective only in a COBOL program compiled with FLOW, STATE, SYMDMP, or COUNT options. They must be executed as a logical pair only once per COBOL run unit (the description continues, but I think the point is, the source contains a CALL). regards, JVD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
