Hi,   

   Doing some work on legacy code.
[Quoted]    Need to allow a user input the contents of one or more variables at run time.

   Having done that a select statement should populate a cursor taking account of the user input values. e.g.

     accept ch-userval1 (the user inputs all the values (e.g. 01,02,05)

     ....

     select columns
     into   c1
     from table1...table5
     where :c_variable in ('ch-userval1')

    where ch-userval1 has all the user inputs in one variable in this
case     (01,02,05)

     

   It appears the pro cobol compiler does'nt like the in statement.    Please note that a variable number of user values can be submitted.    

    Would welcome any comments or help.
