PeopleSoft Cobol Directive(s)

Question

I have been looking around to find information on COBOL directives that come with vanilla PeopleSoft COBOLs.

I can find information for directives during the unicode conversion process but nothing else.

Specifically I am interested in MVSRND, what does it do?

Here's an example use:

MVSRND 01  WK-HPREC.
MVSRND     02  WK-HIGH-PREC            PIC S9(12)V9(6)         COMP-3.

Answer 1

It looks like "MVSRND" (which in the sequence area), is a tag for MVS RANDOM support.

Which might be related to the use of the function random/CEERAN0 or some other api.
