COMP uses less memory compared to COMP-3 at word boundaries.

HELLO FRIENDS, THIS IS JANARDHAN.GADIRAJU, I FACED ONE INTERESTING QUESTION IN COBOL, THAT IS WHAT ARE THE VALUES WE CAN SEE IN HIGHVALUES AND LOWVALUES, CAN U PLEASE GIVE ME THE ANSWER
WE HAVE 2 FILES IN COBOL. ONE IS FIXED LENGTH RECORDS ANOTHER ONE IS VARIABLE LENGTH. IF I DECLEAR LRECL OF FIXED ONE AS 80 AND 2ND RECORD AS 132. WHAT WE NEED TO DECLEAR LRECL FOR THOSE 2 FILES IN JCL?
Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
For rewrite, why is it mandatory that file needs to be opened?
How many types of sorts are there in cobol?

What is the reference modification.
