Pgorthi,

Debugging of any batch program is similar. It does not matter if you used DB2 or IMS databases. The only difference you have is the JCL to run the program. If you are using DB2 then you would be running the program with IKJEFT01. If it is IMS then you would be running with DFSRRC00 .

If your shop has debug tools like compuware's XPEDITER or IBM's DEBUG tools,then you can step thru each statement of your program. The setup for xpediter and Debug tools differes from shop to shop. So you need to talk to your co-workers about the setup of these tools.

If your shop does not have any of the tools mentioned above then put a bunch of DISPLAY statements and look at the sysout.

Hope this helps...

Cheers
