Hi

I have a query suppose if am calling a sub program from a main program,the sub program is using some database which is not used by the main program,where the PCB will be given,i.e whether the PCB will be included in sub program or in main program or from main program the address will be passed thru linkage section to sub program

Regards
Karthik

The sub-program has no entry point to DLI so the PCB is addressed in the main program and the addresses are passed to the sub-program. However in CICS there's a DLI-call to address PCB's 'on the fly'. It's the PCB-call; check the IMS Application Programming: Database Manager here at the bottom of the right window.
