Here my primary key is ACCNO

and writing out put to a file

i am getting 50J sql code.

what is the problem with my program.

am i doing right or any wrong in program.plz clarify.

with regards.

Obviously, since you're getting an SQL error code, you're doing something wrong.

Now, were you able and willing to read and understand this manual page, you'd know why you were getting that error code. Since your poor logic masks the error code from the statement that caused that, you'll have to re-write your program or apply far more effort and logic than you have so far to continue debugging.

avvarycobol,
there's plenty of information available that you may use to solve your problem. In the good old days, I had to go for walking-tours to grab a manual and have a look at it. Now with the internet available, it should not be a big deal to start an internet browser, and set some handy bookmarks for IBM related pages.

First, there's that nice link here that beams you to a table of contents of IBM software manuals. It covers a lot of stuff you're dealing with within a z/OS environment.

If you are asked to code programs, you'll need a link to the IBM library that covers your programming languages.

And if you should put some DB2 SQL statements into your program, you may have a look at the IBM library that describes your DB2 release - you may take this link as a starting point and scroll down to the 'manuals'. Very interesting for application programmers is the manual called 'Application Programming & SQL Guide', another manual you should bookmark is 'SQL Reference', and 'Messages'.

Apart from this, there are collections of redbooks and other technical resources available that may discuss in deep detail what you're interested in. Give it a try.

Suddently, one or two words regarding your program: it's always good practice to add some error handling code following all executable SQL statements in your program. If you would have done this, you'd have seen that the 'OPEN CUR1' returned an SQLCODE your program should not accept, and terminate. The way you have coded your program - without checking SQLCODEs - leads to your (misplaced) statement: scroll logic is not working...
