I have a PDS in which i have 50 members all are COBOL files.I have made changes to all the programs by adding a new line.I want to compile them all successfully.Instead of compiling them seperately is there any method where i can mass compile all of the members within the PDS.

coolguy2005,

You can generate the compile JCL for all the members using an utility or REXX and submit the job to the INTRDR for compilation.

Having done this once before as part of a 200 - 300 program update, you may want to consider the ramifications of this approach.

50 programs isn't that much however, those waiting for an initator may think otherwise. You may want to give some consideration to the priority of your compile jobs.

I have done this as well. I typically split up the compile into a number of jobs, partly because of the issue that kok328 raised and partly so that I did not exceed the maximum EXEC limit for a single job.

We compiled about 8000 programs.
