Hello ggopakumar,

Below is the solution for the queries...

Compilation of the programs depend upon the type of call made for the 2 subprograms. (static / dynamic)

1)
Dynamic call: Compile and bind the subprog 2 only
Static call: compile & bind subprog 2 & main prog

2)
Dynamic call: Compile / link only sub prog 1
Static Call: compile & link subprog 1 & main prog and
compile / link / bind sub prog 2 also

3)
For the main prog changes...you will have to compile / link sub prog 1
and compile / link / bind subprog 2

4)
If you are making changes in all the programs...you will need to compile / link / bind all the 3 programs.

compile / link sub prog 1
compile / link / bind sub prog 2
with the main prog

Correct me if i am wrong...

Hope this helps you.

Regards

Hi,
I am running one non db2 program, it is calling one db2 program, it is a static call. While running it is confusing with
plan and package. Let anyone tell me in run jcl which plan and which program name I have to give.
ie, //systsin dd *
dsn system(

run program(?) plan(?)

thanks
raj

Hi

You have to give the Main program Name as the Program Name and the Plan name which has the Package of you sub program(Cobol DB2)

Thanks
