[quote="MystikShadows"]CONFIGURATION-SECTION is an optional one since COBOL 85. I think it was a descriptive piece of information hence, could have any name.[/quote]

DD Dummy?
In calling IEBGENER, it was often necessary to include
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
Why couldn't we simply omit references to SYSIN in the JCL and lack of a statement be, by definition, DUMMY??

Flipping
Run the study below to ensure we are talking the same language here. In sprite-animation type stuff, you write on one screen while the other is being seen.

When you are all finished, then on some speed that you decide yourself after experimenting, you swap screens. Only works on some SCREENs. If not suppo...
