1. CBLTDLI Call:

Yes you have to include the PCB in the PSBs and you might also require some changes in the programs (say , to include the PCB Mask ) as well.

2.AIBTDLI Call:

Yes you have to define PCB in the PSB. However in AIBTDLI call you'll be directly specifying the PCB name and not the address. See this link.

@ Ranjith Kumar

So you mean to say,

For CBLTDLI call, i need to include the PCB in all the 15 Main module PSB's(called directly or indirectly), and also have the PCB Mask in the "PROCEDURE DIVISION USING' section of all the 15 Main module source program's.

For AIBTDLI call, i need to include the PCB in all the 15 Main module PSB's, but i dont' have to make changes to the Main module Source program.

Am i getting it correct ?

Yes you got it right.
Additional changes may or may not be required in your application programs (Main /Sub) basd on the design.
