halt a COBOL program while executing
|
|
| neerajpeddu 2004-09-14, 8:55 pm |
| Hi there,
I want to halt my program while it is executing for just a minute or
two.
Is there any way I can make it happen in the COBOL code?
Please let me know if there is a way.
Is WAIT reserved word any good?

| See recent thread on "sleep".
The bottom-line is that
Yes, there are ways to do this
BUT
we need to know which compiler (vendor and release) and what operating system
you are running on to answer the question of HOW to do it.

Can we assume that since you posted via MainFrameForum that you are on an IBM mainframe?
Since halting a batch program is usually illogical, can we assume you want to do this online in CICS?
Then:
EXEC CICS DELAY
FOR MINUTES (2)
END-EXEC.
works pretty well to halt a program for just minute or two.

Well, I wasn't going to say anything about it... but I tried that today,
using both the example posted here (and a parm of S9(8)) and some old code
I'd gotten from... somewhere that used to work... on some version of the
MVS architecture (parm = S9(9) COMP)...
.... and I compiled with IGYCRCTL (DATA(24)) and OldBol (IKFCBL00... it's
out there, you just gotta know where to look)... and I couldn't get the
thing to work at all, it either executed without a wait and gave a
completion code of 8 or it hung *so* long that I started to get scared
about hogging an initiator and I can'd the fool thing. Maybe tomorrow
I'll post some specifics.

| Doc,
One thing that *might* help is to use a DYNAMIC call, i.e.
Call identifier-with-ILBOWAT0-Value
If that doesn't work, I really would like to know the details - as this
certainly has worked in the past - and should with the OS/VS COBOL library, VS
COBOL II library or the LE run-time library.

Doing that already, thanks.

As I said, on the morrow... good to see an interest piqued!
