Hi all,

When we compile a COBOL program, in the INTR.OUTPUT step of the JOB where we get compiled listing,
we can find BLW(Base Locator for Working storage) definition.

For Example,

10 DATA1. BLW=0000+0E3,0000033 0CL14
20 FLD1 PIC XX. BLW=0000+0E3,0000033 2C
20 FLD2 PIC X(08). BLW=0000+0E5,0000035 8C
20 FLD3 PIC X(04). BLW=0000+0ED,000003D 4C






20 FLD1 PIC XX. BLW=0000+0E3,0000033 2C


In this example, I think 0000 is the base register. 0E3 is the displacement in Hexadecimal.
I want to know what does 0000033 stand for?

Maximum how many Base registers can be used for working storage variables?

Can any one please explain this?

Thanks and Regards,
Vidya Bhat

I think the 33 is the displacement from the beginning of the 01 level. The 03E is the displacement from the address in the BLW.
