How are your jobs submitted when the files arrive? Do you use a scheduling
software that can monitor for the dataset names? Or is it a manual submission?
Are you going to use hard coded dataset names in the JCL or are you going to
use symbolics?
Are all files being read at the same time by
Two problems here, right?
1. How can a COBOL program handle an input file with a variety of fixed (?)
record lengths.
2. How can a COBOL program encrypt a field?
Answers:
1. I'm not much of a COBOL guy but I am going to guess you need three different
FD's and a PARM= that tells it which one
First option: use DFSORT (one step per DSN) to copy your input data. You can
use the OUTREC control card to force the data to be of a standard length,
padding with blanks or x'00' or whatever. Then process the new, padded, data
sets using normal COBOL.

It wasn't easy. It was a Macro CICS shop on top of that, we were doIng a lot of
CICS transactions and swore it was our code/IBM's. Later it was pretty funny. I
never mind ppl not knowing that's not a big issue, but blaming without knowing

Ron,
Are you using BUFNO or other type of buffering to help this process? Is it a
straight sequential read or how are processing the records?
What is the abend? Is it an MVS abend or application abend? Sometimes tuning
the JCL or process can avoid abends - depending on what they are.
