Hi all,
Is it necessary that the name in program-id and the name of the
member in PDS where that cobol program is written should be same.
for ex

suppose the name of the member in the PDS is xits098.yogesh.cobol(m1)

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID M1.

Thanx in Advance

Yogesh,

PROGRAM-ID M1. is for documentation purpose only, it should not make any difference if you change Program Name in this section.

But the member name where your source code is located, is picked by job, where you specify EXEC PGM=<PROG NAME>

Hope it solves your doubt.

Regards,

Priyesh.
