Hi,
Can anybody tell me how to calculate the size of working storage section in the cobol program and how to calculate the frequency of execution of a program through rexx.

Hello Pradeep,

I think the solution you have provide is shop specific & It seems that in your shop you have rexx which used provide the result.

It wont work on other mainframes

as far as calculating the length, suggest your rexx script scan thru a compile listing with map or offset parms. It is no fun writing a compiler in rexx.

as far as your second question; where would you think this kind of information is stored?

with db2 programs you would not even have a chance at calculating the size of working storage from the source listing.

never heard of the compelling need to find the working storage length
interactively thru rexx

program execution frequency
the best source are the SMF datasets
( talk to your support to se their availability )
