Mainframe, MVS and zOS Discussion

I found this website while searching for QMF and DB2. Great site!

Thank you so much Robert. I must have done some wrong search. Will keep posted about what I've used, will research. Thanks again.

Hi,

Could someone please help on this? It'll be a great help.

Hi,

Can we copy QMF queries, procs from one user to another? How to do it, could you please help.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you all.

The floating point number would be 10 million, not 0 -- hence there are definite differences in floating point and packed decimal variables. A floating point value will have 7 to 8 digits of accuracy; an eye-opening experience would be to write and execute a COBOL program that uses floating point v...

Thanks enrico. I don't have PL/I compiler so I could not use the example. But I looked at this article from wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point and these line are helping. Though I am trying to understand how I can apply these thoughts to COBOL too: "The term floating point refer...

Hi,

Thanks all who tried to help. I have used the below code which worked for me:
In this varaible1 and varaible2 are already defined in the FOCUS program. 'value1' and 'value2' are the values I wanted to pass to the program.

I have referred manuals but I did not find a reference as of now. In this no one knows the FOCUS so it's all more difficult.

Thanks enrico.

Robert,

I think I'll get 0000000 in case of packed decimal but what would I get for floating point?

Hi,

What is the difference between Floating-point and Packed Decimal? I have read explnation about it and searched in google but more I read more I get puzzled about it. For "normal life calculation" will not theyjust behave just same? Or should there be compiler considerations too, always?

Hi,

How do we pass the parameters from JCL to FOCUS program? Can you please share some sample?
