Bernd,
forget it ! :D
Your code works on my zOS.
Best regards.

Many thanks to all who responded and especially to Peter for posting
this piece of ASSEMBLER
which solves the problem.
I am very impressed by the helpfulness of this mailing list, which I
experienced this time again
and many times before.
@Max: the code that you provided unfortunately does
I'm sorry, I'm not at a terminal so my idea had not been proven.

Bernd,
AFAIK the SET ADDRESS OF is to set a pointer to address a piece of storage.
This is why Cobol doesn't you allow to do such a command.
If you want to "grab" the ADDRESS OF your working storage variable, you
should define a POINTER in LINKAGE then set it to the value and then move
it to
Also, it's in the back of my mind that you can set a pointer to a '01'
level, but only a '01' level. But, I work across all platforms and I may
be thinking z/OS. If you are not using the SET ADDRESS against an '01'
level, give it a try.

CLIST drive me up the wall.

I would agree with that assessment Bernd. The only remaining restriction on
ADDRESS OF in z/OS COBOL is for FILE section items, and even that can be solved
with a simple assembler "give me the address of this variable" subroutine if
you need it. Most shops already have one such subroutine
Can you guaranty that there will never be a name that is used for both a member
and a ddname?

Nice to know about later version on other OSes.
So there is no danger in applying an ASSEMBLER workaround
and probably no other (simple and
Depends on the release of the COBOL compiler. Later releases support
working-storage items, earlier releases only allow linkage items.

Probably asking a COBOL question for the first time :-)
I am thinking about writing a general sub-program using COBOL which does
several different computations, each of them needing different input and
output data
of different size.
Because this should work with Batch and CICS, I am thinking
I would never have seen this in advance, but one advantage I found when
switching to REXX is that I'm almost eliminated positional parms from my
commands. In all but a few cases, the program can tell what it is by looking
at it. Thus every user can enter the arguments in the order that seems
On mainframe, BMC got it right with Control M/O/R/...
The interface is just spot on, ultra easy to quickly understand what's going on.
I don't know about the distributed app, but on mainframe, oh boy, I love CTM.
Have even seen a guy write REXX scripts to build out CTM schedule decks.
So for
Thanks, Gil!
Very useful.
