Hi ,
I have a requirement to display the program object module.
In below example, I want to display the path where object is located.
Like "INITIAL is run from object TEST.WORKOBJ.INITIAL "
Could you please advice.
//RUN EXEC PGM=INITIAL
//STEPLIB DD DSN=MTPLB21.COBOL.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
Thanks,
Anand |

| I don't think this is possible. A load module contains no information about it's environment, and we never see information about what load library an executable module originates from in the JES output. I think the only option is to perform static analysis of the JCL and resolve all executable locations. There are many 'impact analysis' tools on the market that will do this (for a nominal fee). |

| This can be done, but not easily. You have to trace the control blocks to find where the program is executing from (remember the link list can also be used to execute programs); the system does this when writing to SYSUDUMP after an abend. |

Hello,

What is needed form the "object" module?

Any system that has the least bit of Change Control or Configuratoin Management has promotion processes in place that always put Production executables in the Production load library(ies). There should be no need to "discover" where the module resides.
If you post what is actually wanted (not how you might solve it), someone may have a suggestion. What business requirement is there to do anything with the executables/libraries? |

Dick,
I imagine (especially since he keep citing "test" libs) that he does not have
control over his concatenation (stages) while doing testing. So, as every rookie does,
he tries to change the behavior of the computer to make up for his lack
of understanding.
In short:
If you don't know from where your run-modules are being loaded,
you lack basic understanding for which a display is not going to be much help. |

On Tandem mainframes, I am creating two dummy servers for testing purpose one for production object and one for development.
When I execute prod/dev object, I want to some proof to document from
the program is executing from .
These test servers will be deleted everyday.
If my question is irrelevant for this COBOL forum, I apologize.
Please suggest how to delete this post.
