JCL Pre-link stage

Dear gurus,

I am attempting a JCL for pre-compiling, compiling, pre-linking and link editing a COBOL/DB2 batch program.

I am having problems at the pre-link stage where I'm getting unresolved
references to CEESTART, CEEBETBL, CEESG005, IGZCBSO and CEESG003. I have found the PDS where these members reside. Do I need to put them in my PLKED.SYSLIB or PLKED.STEPLIB.

This is my JCL when pre-linking, note I am overriding an IBM supplied cataloged procedure DSNHICOB.

//PLKED.SYSMSGS DD DSN=SYS1.SCEEMSGP(EDCPMSGE),DISP=SHR
//PLKED.SYSIN DD
// DD DUMMY

Followup.

I managed to get this to work in the end. I just created an instream procedure.

I am still getting a return code of 4 from the pre-link because of unresolved references. I don't know how to fix this. When it links I get a return code of 0.

If anyone has encountered this before I'd be interested to hear your point of view on this!

Cheers!!
