Hi,

I think while pre-compilation, table columns are checked with the DCLGEN Columns. If any column name is not mentioned correctly then compiler will give error.
If DCLGEN is not included this error will occur in Run time.

Thats right, DCLGEN is just a mapping between DB2 fields and cobol variablaes, so that your COBOL program understands and identifes DB2 fields properly.

Just have a look into any of your DCLGEN member, it would serve enough to understand the things.
