Can we use select * statement in cobol program without
giving field names ???

Answer Posted / vish

Yes we can do it but as a practice people don't use "SELECT
*..." in COBOL program. Possibly the main reason for this
is that if there is any modification to the table in future
(e.g. a column addition) then all such programs needs to be
at least recompiled once even if there is no code changes
into them. This is ensure taht they use latest DCLGEN for
the modified table else the programs will abend for column
mismatch.
