hi all

I need to do ' to calculate the offset value of each field of a copybook'

means I need to see the offset value of each field of copybook through the coding'

I am not able to use file aid to use this. so that I need to do this code .

its output should comes like this....

ws-name , ws-age , ws-salary
(1:20) , (22:24) , (26:32)

like this in output file or in spool..

Hello,

As you were told in the other forum, you can use fileaid. If something in your organization prevents this, it is an issue for your manager to resolve. . .

To get the offsets for a copybook you can also simply run a compile and the offsets will be shown n the compile output.

If anyone n your organizaton is familiar with easytrieve, there is an easytrieve macro (CBLCNVRT) that will convert a cobol copybook to an easytrieve layour which contains offsets.
