Hi Gurus,
Please excuse me for this question , but I'm a total stranger to
COBOL/400.
I have 4 logicals in my program & depending on some conditions either of
them should be used to load my subfile. What I want to know is if I can
select one of the files so that all the subsequent moves from the file
fields to screen fields are effected as moves from the particular
logical file. I guess I want to define a generic name which will take
the value of a particular logical based on the conditions.
Obviously I'm trying to avoid code like this -
If condition1 then
Move from logical1 fields to subfile fields
else if condition2 then
Move from logical2 fields to subfile fields
else if condition3 then
Move from logical3 fields to subfile fields
else if condition4 then
Move from logical4 fields to subfile fields
Endif
I'm looking for some solution like this -
If condition1 then
Select logical1
else if condition2 then
Select logical2
else if condition3 then
Select logical3
else if condition4 then
Select logical4
Endif
Move file fields to subfile fields
Is it possible? If so how?
Thanks
Varma MVN
