Hello everyone,
I need little clarification on 2 things:
1). LoadModule creates with program name(eg: member of a PDS) or PROGRAM-ID. pgm1.
We use Program Name in Complie and most important in RUN JCL (LoadLib) and I believe this is correct.
But when it comes to CALL(static or dynamic) we refer to PROGRAM-ID.
Please respond. |

Load modules can be created with any name you want. The default is the PROGRAM-ID but there is no requirement that the load module name be that. The CALL statement uses the PROGRAM-ID (which may be the load module name or it may be the name of a CSECT in the load module).
You can use the linkage editor (binder) statements
| Code: |
ENTRY program-id-name
NAME load-module-name |
You would be advised to read the COBOL Language Reference and Programming Guide manuals (link at the top of the page) about PROGRAM-ID and PGMNAME and if you have questions after reading these manuals, please let us know. |

When I compile my program and link edit it I find the load module with the name of my program (and not the Program-id) and I use the same name with proper DSN in my RUN JCL.
I do not find My Program-id any where.
If my program name is PGM1 and Program-id is REPORT then I always refer program name (PGM1) and not REPORT, even there, where Load Module is required.
But as Robert mentioned load Module is program-id(REPORT in this case),
I believe my assumption was wrong and need to go through the COBOL manuals.
In the meanwhile all replies regarding this will be highly appreciated. |
