Karthik,

Ask your Superiors or colleagues whoever already working and accessing.

If you people only started work, ask your counter parts in Onsite/Offshore.

are you the only one working at your site?

I realize that new guys don't like to ask questions and possibly draw attention as someone who does not know, but there are certain questions that anyone should ask, such as: what does the environment look like?

There are potentially many ways you could find the answers to these type of questions.

in your case, look at the compile jcl and see what libraries are concatenated in the syslin.

Look in the compile jcl it will be in the SYSLIB concatenation.

Dick,

I think, SYSLIN DD statement defines the dataset which gives OBJECT MODULE as an input to IEWL and SYSLIB gives concatenation of datasets, like COPYLIB, PROCLIB, etc..., that have been used during compilation.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

ksk,

you are probably correct.

i just picked a dd reference at random. I just wanted the op to use resources that were available to him, that are easy to use.

anyone with more than 1 minute experience knows that a compile job will reveal much about an environment.
