What I'm trying to understand: What does it mean by "Enter s to the left of PRTLINE RUN1 from CBL1008/CBL2008 program"?

Actually, I'm having trouble finding that. Where will it be?

A program needs to be written when a system utility does
not have the capability to provide desired output.
The sort utility has the capability to total column of numbers mn
but it is incapable of totalling numbers with the same row.
If numbers in the same row need to be totalled, then a program
must be written.
A COBOL program can be used to total numberes in the same row.
Although a COBOL program compiles, links and executes, the COBOL
program can fail to report a total accurately.
Inaccurate PACKED DECIMAL PICTURE clauses in the COBOL source code
can result in program failure to report a total accurately.
Focus on the PACKED DECIMAL PICTURE clauses in the source code and
in the manuals (if needed).

Based on the screen shots you are in ISPF, most likely SDSF. Press the TAB key until the cursor is on the same like as:
PRTLINE RUN2
Press the S key and then press enter. graye got is left and right mixed up, but just before you press enter the screen should look like:

That does not help, as that is telling you things about the cobol program. You question was what does:
"Enter s to the left of PRTLINE RUN1 from CBL1008/CBL2008 program"?
Mean. It literally means to put the letter "S" to the left of the the line with PRTLINE RUN1.
Just like if I told you to type the word "The" to the left of:
brown fox ran fast.
You would end up with:
The brown fox ran fast.
In TSO/ISPF you go to the screen where you are viewing the output of the job where you ran the program CBL1008/CBL2008 and put literally type the letter S (to select) to the left of PRTLINE RUN1 and press enter.

If I submit the JCL (T08JOB1) and view the output in SDSF, I can't put S next to anything, and i can't find any other output where I may do this.
What happens when you try and put an S next to it?
ASKER
Nothing. It looks like a no input area where the keyboard input gets "stuck", which I unstick with left-ctrl. Actually, the output is so long I've never managed to scroll though it all, and I haven't found that text in that output.
