Hi

What is the equivalent keyword of DISPLAY (of Cobol) in Assembler ?

You could make use of WTO

DISPLAY in COBOL is a fairly complex statement since it automatically converts data to zoned decimal. There is no real equivalent in Assembler since the data conversions have to be done by the programmer. ASSIST is an Assembler macro language that contains something similar to DISPLAY but it is not commonly available.

If you are using language environment you can use CEEMOUT, but it won't convert any data. This callable services gás the advantage to work well both on CICS and batch assembler programs.

Thanks ggrcha.
