Cobol - Display upon console

When a program does a display upon console, no message appears on the console.
2 questions a- How do we make it appear on the console? b- If it does not appear on the console, where is it redirected to?

Thanks, Ian

Hi there.
Did you define a device for console ?
Other chance would be to define a printfile,
where you can send the messages and check them with an editor.

Re: Cobol - Display upon console

Do I need to declare the console as a device within the program, or can I declare the console device outside the program?. Either way, how do you do it.
