Hi,

Generally we are giving the plan name only in the Run JCL of cobol+db2 pgm.
e.g Plan((Plan name)
But we don't give the path(dataset lib) for that plan as we are giving for cobol load module. the question is How the JCL will find the paln where it is residing? How is it possible only with the plan name?

Please clarify this with e.g .

Thanks,
Sona.

Hi rags,

Thanks for ur quick reply, still I have one more doubt.

So U mean to say the plan will get stored in system cataloge from there the job will fetch. IS it?

Do we have the more than one plan with the same name in the sstem catalog of subsytem?

Thanks,
Sona.

Hi sona,
plan name is Unique at subsytem level.So it will fetch its details easily.

If you want create plan for a program under same subsytem but different test region, you can put add a different suffix to plan name(one character to distinguish) in those regions while creating the plans.

Hope you got me.

Thanks
