• What is the purpose of the IEBEDIT utility?
• How will you see the value of variable for whole record in file using xpeditor?
• How do you compile a program using CA-Endevor?
• What is the record length for the following program
  05 emp-table occurs 15 times
  10 emp-name pic x(10)
  10 emp-no pic s9(05)comp
  10 emp-salary pic s9(9)V99 comp-3.
• Which is efficient and faster search or search all?

leelaa.tsk, it is preferred by the forum that you supply YOUR best responses to these questions. Then, someone here can help you if you hone your responses if necessary.

One question can easily be answered by referring the the description in the manual.

One question is really a site-specific policy/standard. One is related to a specific third-party product that presumably you've already been trained for.

One could easily be answered in about 1 minute with a quick test.

And as far as your last question goes, the answer depends upon the number of elements in the table. Both SEARCH and SEARCH ALL are faster in certain circumstances -- quite possibly a trick question.

Ans: x(10)-------------10bytes
s9(05)comp -----4bytes
s9(9)v99---------6bytes
Total 20*15=300bytes
