Hi,

If I am using some files in a called cobol program where should I have to give the DD names for those files in the run JCL of calling program?

Thanks,
Ashwin

I have found out the solution.

The DD names for the called program should be given within calling program step in the run JCL of calling program.

Thanks,
Ashwin

Hello Ashwin,

Yes, you've got the solution

Just as a thought, i'd suggest that you might group the DD statements for the called module together and put a comment in the JCL so that someone who looks at it later will quickly understand.

By the way, welcome to the forum
