Collection ID in the package

grayWolf · Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 10:16 am

Hi,

While running a Cics program, I had mistakenly given the collection Id in the package that was supposed to be used for a Stored Procedure. But the program went fine without giving -805 or -806. Can anyone explain this because I was asked for a reason?

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

The most likely reason is that while you did something unintended, it was still "valid". . . If the compile/bind were successful, where is the error?

The system won't know what you intend, it just works with what is given.

programs run with a plan, not a collection.
A plan can have multiple collections, : f.e. both program- and SP-collection.
(actually multiple packages , but usually name in packlist = '*')
