I believe, Mr Wiegand, that you are making the common-yet-inaccurate
equivalence between 'multiple personality syndrome' and 'schizophrenia'
(lit. 'fractured personality').

My friend (let me point out that this one is not my boozy chum) would
root his hatred in the fact that his grandmother was hospitalised
after being mugged by a black man.


As for the dead men do bleed, that does depend upon the definition of
dead and/or bleed.

My guess is that this answer was intended to say "do your own homework" -
but in a more "obscure" way.

If, however, one were really trying to provide a "user-friendly" solution
for the MVS (z/OS) environment, I would point them to using ISPF sefrvices.
In particular, see
LMQUERY

With all the replies, I haven't seen the OP come back, but the real answer
is, as others have said, that this depends on compiler, operating system,
and "API's" that are available. It also, obviously, depends on the type of
file being queried, i.e. is it an "O/S" file" (e.g. line sequential on
Windows ofr Linux) or is it a "COBOl-specific" file thype (such as Indexed
files on Windows - not using a product like C-ISAM)(.

P.S. Personally, I do NOT think this is a "homework" type question as it is
NOT something covered in most classes and does requrie some "research" into
facilities availab le in various plattforms, but then again without the OP
coming back, who knows?

Possibly not. But we really don't know enough to say.

One would think that a professional would give us more information
about his environment before being asked.
