HI,

FOR STATIC CALL U SHOULD SPECIFY NAME AND LOCATION OF OBJECT MODULE OF SUB PGM IN LKED.SYSLIB.

Example :

//STEP01 EXEC IGYWCL
//COBOL.SYSIN DD DSN= (MAIN PGM), DISP=SHR
//LKED.SYSLMOD DD DSN= (LOAD MODULE), DISP=SHR
//LKED.SYSLIB DD DSN=(SUB PGM'S OBJECT MOUDLE),DISP=SHR

FOR DYNAMIC CALL U SOULD SPECIFY ONLY LOCATION OF OBJECT MODULE OF SUB PGM IN STEPLIB.

//STEP01 EXEC IGYWCL
//COBOL.SYSIN DD DSN= (MAIN PGM), DISP=SHR
//LKED.SYSLMOD DD DSN= (LOAD MODULE), DISP=SHR
//STEPLIB DD DSN=(location of SUB PGM'S OBJECT MOUDLE),DISP=SHR
