COBOL Manual for TNS/E Programs (H06.08+, J06.03+)

record-name

is a logical record described in the File Section of the Data Division. The record-name can

be qualified by the name of the file with which the record is associated. The data written is the

current contents of record-name.

from-name

is the identifier of a data area whose contents are to be moved to the record specified by

record-name before the WRITE occurs. from-name must specify a data area other than

that specified by record-name. It cannot specify an index data item.

END-WRITE

ends the scope of the WRITE statement, causing the WRITE to be a delimited-scope statement.

Features Unavailable in the OSS Environment

Features that are available in the Guardian environment but not in the OSS environment fall into

these categories:

• ASSIGN Commands

• PARAM Commands

• Compiler Directives

• Process Pairs

ASSIGN Commands

ASSIGN commands are not available in the OSS environment, You can use DEFINEs for some

ASSIGN functions, but because DEFINEs do not accept OSS pathnames, they cannot perform the

ASSIGN function of overriding file assignments made at compilation time.

PARAM Commands

PARAM commands are not directly available in the OSS environment, but analogous OSS

environment variables exist for the PARAM commands in Table 106. A mixed-language COBOL

program can access these environment variables by using C routines (see the Open System Services

Library Calls Reference Manual and the Guardian Native C Library Calls Reference Manual).
