First is Binary storage and Second one is just Numeric storage.
Also, First will take 2 bytes of storage whereas Second one requires 4 Bytes of memory.

Correct me if I am wrong.!!!

An external sort is not COBOL; it is performed through JCL and PGM=SORT. It is understandable without any code reference. An internal sort can use two different syntaxes: 1.) USING, GIVING sorts are comparable to external sorts with no extra file processing; 2) INPUT PROCEDURE, OUTPUT PROCEDURE sorts allow for data manipulation before and/or after the sort.

Kirk

• Aug 8th, 2015

Internal sort uses the compilers internal sort features. External sort calls 3rd party utility sort feature.
External sort feature is usually used for LARGE volume of data.

This problem can be resolved by compiling the main program (Calling program) using the DYNAM compiler option

Answer Question  Select Best Answer

In the case of static call the mainprogram and subpgms r loaded into the mainmemory initially.in the case of dynamic call only the mainpgm is loaded first and the subpgm is loaded only when a call to it is made.so the memory utilization is good in dynamic call.

Static and dynamic will be decided only on compiler if NODYNAM - it is static, if DYNUM then dynamic.

Saurabh Bandyopadhyay

• Mar 8th, 2016

In case of Static Call, we use the call literal. For example, CALL PGM1. In case of dynamic call, we define a variable and pass the sub-program name to it before calling. Ex- 01 WS-VAR1 PIC...

Saranya

Add statement will add 40+10(value of X)+10(value of X) and the result will be stored in X as 60. Then, the compute statement multiples the value of X by 3 and subtract by 40. So, the value of X will ...

Copy - Expand the copybook statements during compilation time.

Include - Expand the copybook statements during pre-compilation time. Usually for DELGENS we use INCLUDE as DCLGEN statements needed during pre-compilation process.

surya

• Dec 31st, 2015

Copy will be used in the cobol compile process and Include will be used during the Db2 precompile process. So we include a Dclgen. We cannot copy a dclgen..If so the program will fail the compilation.We can include a copybook too.
