Can I modify the call to an MPP program

I have an MPP program called AB100 and another MPP program AB102 which is called from AB100

The MPP program AB102 does not execute any function (GU/ISRT/CHNG/PURG) on IMS queue but queries a IMS database

The call from AB100 is presently like this
CALL AB102 USING IO-PCB
TP-PCB
DB-PCB
AB102-I-OAREA.
Question is

1. Can I modify this call to
CALL AB102 USING
DB-PCB
AB102-I-OAREA.
since bcoz I dont use either i-o PCB or TP-PCB in AB102. AND

in AB102 , remove the definition of IO-PCB and TP-PCB from the linkage and define it in the working storage

Depends on the usage of the PSB. Do both programs use the same PSB? Does the PCB for AB102 contain an IO-PCB?

I found that only the PSB for AB100 exists. No PSB exist for AB102 (i.e in the same name).

AB100 has 2 TP PCBs and DB PCBs defined in the PSB

However the program AB102 has I-O PCB mask, one TP PCB mask and one DB PCB mask defined in the linkage section.

Does that mean AB102 uses the same PSB as AB100 ?

As I understand it AB102 is a called module. What it takes to operate correctly is that the pointers are passed in the correct order pointing to the right databases. Just pass the pointers that are needed by AB102. If no IO-PCB needed don't pass it. Question: why would you want to modify the stuff

Btw: noticed you're in Amsterdam, so am I. If you'd like to discuss the matter by phone just tell me and I'll send you a PM.
