I don't *think* CEEENV or setenv will do dynamic allocation.
Yes, they can. And we have examples (and a lab) in our 2 day course "Enterprise COBOL Update" http://www.trainersfriend.com/COBOL_Courses/d704descr.htm as well as in our 3 day course "Advanced Topics in COBOL" http://www.trainersfriend.com/COBOL_Courses/D725descrpt.htm -- Kind regards, -Steve Comstock The Trainer's Friend, Inc. 303-355-2752 http://www.trainersfriend.com * To get a good Return on your Investment, first make an investment! + Training your people is an excellent investment * Try our tool for calculating your Return On Investment for training dollars at http://www.trainersfriend.com/ROI/roi.html
That might be a good reason to pick BPXWDYN.

Doing some very limited in initial research I've found three documented methods of performing Dynamic Allocation in COBOL ( Enterprise COBOL 4.2), BPXWDYN, CEEENV or setenv. Q1) Are there any others?We already use a home grown assembler program for dynamic allocation, but our direction is to move as much to the OS as possible. Q2) Is there any reason to pick one over the others? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
