Hi everyone!
Thanks for the replies…
The version we are using for Natural is 4.1.4 and we are using
CICS 2.3.
I do not know CICS and although I had experience using COBOL online, but I do not know the configuration behind it (i.e., my previous client’s architecture is already configured to be able to run COBOL online). We need to be able to call COBOL programs from transactional online Natural programs that’s why I am trying to test this simple program.
I tried using P=V or P=LS but I still get the same results. 
Is there something I should modify in my COBOL compiler?
@Nikolay: Lucky you!!! I will try your suggestion and get back to you on this. Thanks!!!
