Hi,
Suppose we are calling one program in JCL. That program is accessing only two files but in JCL we have specified five files. What will happen in this case? |

JCL, by definition, does not have the ability to CALL something, it merely executes the program(s)... and as exapt has mentioned many times before, JCL by itself does nothing. It is used to invoke (not CALL) the chosen program and to define which datasets are to be used by the DD names associated with the chosen program.
Well, if your question is to do with COBOL batch programming, have a look on
| Code: |
| SELECT filename ASSIGN TO DDname. |
and try to understand why they are used? |
