I've been trying to read my input and write it to output file but can't find any mistakes in code. The JCL I'm submiting is good, because it was written by my mainframe lecturer, so I know the problem is somewhere in COBOL code... double checked everything, tried to find something with him in class - worthless... Line alignment, spacing, etc. are Ok I believe.

here is the code of JCL
//useridX JOB ,
// MSGCLASS=H,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
// CLASS=A,
// REGION=0M,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//COBOL1 EXEC IGYWCLG,REGION=50M,
// PARM.COBOL='TEST,RENT,APOST,OBJECT,NODYNAM,LIB,SIZE(1048376)'
//COBOL.STEPLIB DD DSN=IGY420.SIGYCOMP,
// DISP=SHR
//COBOL.SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=userid.KURS.COBOL(PROG2)
//GO.INPUTFIL DD DISP=SHR,DSN=userid.KURS.PLAYERS
//GO.OUTFIL DD DISP=SHR,DSN=userid.KURS.REPORT
and it works for other students, so I'm pretty sure the cause of maxcc=12 is COBOL's part
Any suggestions? Thanks.
P.S. I cannot check my job logs - something is wrong with my mainframe account or mainframe itself. This is the main cause why I can't find the problem
OK - I have run this successfully after some code changes. You really need to get your output sorted - are you using the correct MSGCLASS. Check - do not assume.
Program errors: Look at PROGRAM-ID Look at record lengths and compare to what you describe the record lengths of the files Look at what you are writing.
Improvements: Always check your status after any file operation - OPEN READ WRITE CLOSE. Your indentation is not good. If it is on your machine then take more care when posting.
