sleep EXAMPLE

-----Original Message-----
Jon - thanks so much for the sleep example.

Simon - You get the prize - it did not work because I had 'sleep' as
uppercase.

All - Thanks so much for your suggestions and advice.  And sorry that
this response has taken so long to write. I had to switch gears for a
while.

Anyway - I can't believe I am asking for more advice for 1 call 1
condition program - but I obviously do not 'get' something.  I stream
the job that runs the program and it just sits in the job queue with a
status of 'SIGW' - which means it is waiting for a signal.  I am not
sure how to supply the signal.  I understood that the 'sleep' function
would proceed after the specified seconds passed, but that was not the
case.  I let the job sit in the queue for at least 20 minutes.  I feel
like I am missing something here.  Anyboyd have any ideas?

Thanks and have a great a weekend!

        calls

Jon,

Thanks so much for the example.  I did try the 'sleepytime' program but
still am having problems compiling.  Basically, I cannot find the
'SLEEP' object in any of the Binding directories in QSYS, including the
QC2LE binding directory.  As a matter of fact - all objects in all of
the binding directories in lib qsys all begin with the letter 'Q'.  Is
there something else I am missing here?  Also we are on v5r2 - if it
makes a difference.  How do I get the SLEEP object into QC2LE?

Thanks so much for your help!

Have a great day~

Adrienne McConnon

Thanks everybody,  my biggest problem was that I didn't have a file
description nor a DDS to see how fields were inside the record, to make
matters worst some fields were compress.  Thank God I found a couple of
DDS
and with those and a CONVERT command (which I'm guessing applies the DDS
format to the file) I manage to recover the information.

So thanks for all your input.

How about just simply creating a logical file and using that?  The way
you can key it anyway you want.  

If the fields are defined in the file you would need to only define the
record format and key fields.  If it's a flat file you would have to
define the fields individually.

Using a logical file would allow you to use it over in other programs
without having to maintain a separate FD.  FD's have a tendency to get
out of sync after awhile, due to program mods, when the file is used in
other programs.

Subject: [COBOL400-L] Applying a DDS

Is there a way to apply a DDS to a file created without the DDS? Or how
can
I access that data?

I got a file that was created without a DDS, I have a DDS but I don't
want
to write a program to read and write into another file, so I was
wondering
if it was a faster way?

Thanks

Luis
