Hi Nirmal,

Compilation of COBOL-IDMS code happens in this way:

1. First the Source pgm (COBOL with IDMS statements) is first read by a DML processor.
2. The DML processor validates the DML statements and creates a translated version of the source program in which DML statements have been replaced by appropriate calls to IDMS/R.(translated version is a COBOL pgm with call to IDMS/R statements, all the DB records are copied from Data dictionary, DML statements will be commented & replaced by CALL statements)
3. Output from the DML processor is a new source program, which serves as the input to the COBOL compiler.
4. After the translated source program has been compiled, the resulting object module is processed by the linkage editor to create an executable load module.

Thanks
