Still should work, but only for QSAM files. To work on VSAM files would require reverse engineering the OCO FIB structure in the COBOL runtime to find the ACB.

Geissbuehler Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 9:44 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: file types IMHO defining two FD's wins the simplicity and clarity medal. However I used the subroutine method in the (distant!) past to change the DDNAME on the fly: CLOSE FD-FILE-NAME. MOVE IN-REGION TO DDNAME-SUFFIX. CALL 'FDFIXUP' USING FD-FILE-NAME, DDNAME. OPEN OUTPUT FD-FILE-NAME. e.g. to write / output each region's report (-section) to its own DD-statement (RJE remote printing / routing, microfiche). I don't know but expect it to still work in the current COBOL releases. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
