Is it possible to have a program which serves both as ONLINE as well as BATCH?
If YES what changes this program should have? |

the above comment makes no sense.
If a modules' intended usage is to be a sub-program CALLable from both online and batch, one should use a COBOL CALL, and the linkage would be that which is necessary for the subprogram to perform its function.
If a module is intended to be used in both batch and online, there is no need to reference EIB fields or DFHcomm fields. A copybook, defining the data necessary for the submodule, should be created and used. |

In general you should avoid CICS sentences and Sequential FILEs. |
