issac1029,

it depends on your installation. If its a standard batch job, one would ideally submitt/run the natural program with a NATBATCH jcl triggered from the cobol program.

you dont have to recompile the natural program everytime you compile the cobol program in this case. Natural programs can be STOWed and kept in the load library until you have a change to the code.

cheers
