Re: How to make a COBOL program wait?
There is also an LE version which does milliseconds for the delay interval. Check the manuals for the specifics.

Re: SUM FIELDS=NONE in sort.
William,
if you are positive that the data is in sequence already, then you can use
MERGE FIELDS=(.....)
SUM FIELDS=NONE
this way you can avoid the overhead of sorting the data again.

Re: Help in solving SQLCODE -144.
I suspect that you have an overflow condition where the SQLDA area at the end of working storage has been overlaid. I would analyze the dump to check for a storage overflow condition.

Re: BPXWDYN vs PUTENV.
both do the job, it's a matter of your shop standards or if there is no standard, then your personal preference.

Re: Create PDS member using COBOL program dynamically.
you could use dynamic allocation via BPXWDYN and create as many as you wish.
just remember that restart / recovery using pds members can be much more challenging than qsam files.
