Is there a way in Cobol to handle an input file that has variable

Sorry, the song got stuck in my head while reading through this

The answer is to find yourself a real veteran, do it in assembler on
the mainframe, and call the assembler routine from your cobol program.


It's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But speaking as such a veteran
And not meaning to be rude,

I wouldn't use Assembler as a solution.

Check out the post from Michael Matthias on this (MCM), 28/12/2006 in this
thread.

As for you, Vivian, get over it... there's more than 50 ways :-)
