A wild guess but I would try something like

in program-a
CALL program-b
using data-a
data-b
etc

and in program-b

you would have
PROCEDURE DIVISION USING data-a data-b etc

You can make us of CALL BY REFERENCE i.e when u edit the data in program B , you can make use of the changes when control comes to Program A

hi pradyumna_sethy

once the control is transferred back to calling pgm from called pgm, the data will be available to the calling pgm.

I believe this is what your calrification is all about. for more info, you can have a look in manuals.

suggestions/corrections welcomed...

Hi Friends,

The easiest way to pass the data from Pgm to Pgm is using the Copy books...and use the copy books in linkage sections..

I think this is a good method..Isn't it?
