Keep this link Handy!. Better to download the PDF version of the COBOL manual for future reference.

1. COBOL Program.
| Code: |
//STEPxx EXEC PGM=program
|
2. COBOL DB2 Program
| Code: |
//STEPxx EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
....
....
//SYSTSIN DD *
DSN SYSTEM(db2-system)
RUN PROGRAM(program) PLAN(plan-name)
END
/*
|
3. COBOL + CICS + DB2 Program
| Code: |
Forget JCL !. There is no relation b/w JCL & CICS. You need to logon to the CICS region where your code is available and invoke the transaction corresponding to your program.

Thanks,

Not really, Phantom. Read about EXCI stub that interacts with CICS transactions from JCL. Also, you can trigger jobs from CICS using extra-partition TDQs. Both are well-documented.

Cogito,
I agree with you. I have no idea about the EXCI Stub, but I have seen CICS invoking jcls. My reply is concentrated only on the question that gogula asked. In this context, JCL has no reference to CICS. I should have given that in a more clear sense. Thanks for pointing that out.
Regards,
Phantom |
