Hi,

I need to compile and run a COBOL program using a single JCL.

Could somebody please tell how to do the same?
Sample snippets would be useful.

Thanks.

You could use procedure IGYWCLG.

The COBOL job step produces an object module that is input to the linkage editor or binder. You can add other object modules. If the COBOL program refers to any data sets, you must also supply DD statements that define these data sets.

publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pdthelp/v1r1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.entcobol.doc_4.1/PGandLR/ref/rpmvs07.htm

The procedure will probably be located in the SYS1.PROCLIB

to use it ask Your support
the procedure is described well in the cobol publication

what about looking at the manuals Yourself!
starting from

I also, on Your behalf carried on the search for IGYWCLG
