Problem:

A COBOL program prints 30 tables. Each one is OPEN OUTPUT and under Server Express only the last table is in the print file at the end of execution each individual file has been overlaid by the OPEN OUTPUT command.

Resolution:

On Server Express it is necessary to code the OPEN statement as OPEN EXTEND. This will cause each additional file to be concatenated onto the end of the file.

See the "Language Reference" manual for syntax rules for coding OPEN EXTEND.
