Executing Cobol pgm with subprogram in other loadlib

Hi ALL,
I'm trying to execute a Cobol pgm in one loadlib but the Cobol
program calls a subprogram from another loadlib. Is there
something like a steplib function on the CALL command?
I get an 806 module not found.

CALL 'XXXX.TEST.LOADLIB(PGM12345)' -
'&DBRT,&MBRSTR&SDATE&STIME'

rc

You may try LIBDEF ISPLLIB.

hi rlavoie,

Y Don't you concatinate both the loadlibs of Called and Calling programs in the JCL??

Vamsi,
There is no JCL involved. I'm using the CALL instruction
within a CLIST.

Just before the call statement allocate the other Dataset where the other program resides.

alloc da('other.dataset') shr reuse

call 'xxxx.what.ever(program)' 'parm data'

Allocate the other dataset.... to what DDNAME?

I remember reading a similar topic on another Forum a while back. If I recall, it ended up that there is no way to accomplish what you want, other than to either:

a. run the programs from standard linklisted libraries or
b. put them in the same loadlib.

Thanks. The LIBDEF ISPLLIB worked fine.
Just a little more detail if you are interested:
I was trying to use a clist to call a native call DATACOM
COBOL program in our test environment passing clist
parameters to the program using linkage and using an
external URT also in test environment (but different loadlibs)
at the same time and have my program also access
dynamically linked production subprograms.

ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPLLIB DATASET ID( -
'xxxx1.URT.LOAD' 'xxxx2.HOME.LOAD' 'xxxx3.BASE.LOAD' -
'xxxx.TEST.LOADLIB' 'xxxx.PROD.LOADLIB')

CALL 'xxxx.TEST.LOADLIB(PGM12345)' -
'DBURT=URT12345 PDATA=A,Y,N,45458 '

Moderator,
I'm curious as to why my post was moved from
Clist/Rexx to the TSO section? What was the trigger
that I should have noticed to go to TSO instead?
I would like to know for future reference to minimize
your maintenance of my posts.
Thanks.
