Yes, We can get the location of the object module..
If we run the cobol program then we need to give the object module name as well as load library name in the Run JCL... Am i right ?...
so we know the load library name by looking at the Run JCL...
Imagine here we are taking any production Run JCL.. In this we will get that load library name and in that we will find the Object module name...
so by looking at that load library or object module name how we can find the source program loacation...
please let me know if am wrong...
Thanks & Regards,
Sree |

keep in mind the loadlib conbcatination can be pretty expansive...

other than assuming that the source code is named the same as the loadmod (is program-id visible in the object code?) and searching every 80 byte FB PO for it, there is nothing in the object code to point to the location of the source code. |

Oh no, I do not believe that I said that you "can't" find the location, it's more like (if it does in fact exist) you'll have to search for it. Some shops would have a limited number of generally used repositories for the source, looking there first could narrow down the search, but other shops might not be organized and that would leave a lot of PDSs to search.[/quote] |

| Start searching all PDSs for the name of the source module. |

Here's a possibility that might work:
Since you know the load library of the load module check the JCL lib(s) where the compile/link JCL is kept.
Use 3.13 to search for the loadlib dsn. In the same compil/link proc you should find the source lib name that contains the source module you're looking for.
It's not 100% certain that you will but the probability is good. |

Hi Sree,
What configuration management tool do you use?
If you use NDVR or any other tool for version control then you can give a search in the repository using this object program name.
It will list you all the programs that are accessing this module.
