Answer Posted / lokanatha reddy
POINTER Phrase purpose: Points to the position in the
destination string where the next character will go.
Stntax:
STRING
Ident1 DELIMITED BY SIZE
Ident2 DELIMITED BY SPACES
INTO Ident4 WITH POINTER Point1
END-STRING.
POINTER value must be an integer item and its description
must allow it to contain a value one greater than the size
of the destination string. For instance, a pointer declared
as PIC 9 is too small if the destination string is 10
characters long

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
