Thank you for the clarification. Just learning COBOL and trying to put it all together. Doing the formatting of an output right now and am a little frustrated. Lots of tedium getting the correct formatting! I need more practice.
I appreciate the time you took to explain.

Re: COBOL Printing Reports
Please bear with me as I try to understand. A report is generated by a COBOL program from some file of data. Then batch JCL takes that and sends the info to an outside vendor that formats the data into a report? So you are not doing the formatting via COBOL - putting in spaces - Line advancing etc?

COBOL Printing Reports
Hi!
Just curious - I'm new at COBOL - we're learning how to code reports for printing. It seems like this is ripe for automation these days. How many of you still program the printing out of reports?
