XYZ Financial Corporation has several applications to maintain their customer and employee data. They have thousands of Batch jobs and COBOL programs. On a particular audit, they were asked to change a program name from PGM1 to PGMS. On analysis the developer found that the program PGM1 is been used in more than 1000 batch jobs. Please suggest a simple solution for the developer to change the program name in all the impacted jobs

arvibala,

1a. The audit never found if there any DB2/IMS programs which require the plan/psb names tied to the program name. What do you with the plan/psb names? Do you bind and generate new plans and PSB's?

1b. What would you do if PGM1 is Dynamic called program from another program?

2. If 180 days can be taken as 6 months then the following DFSORT JCL will give the desired results. If you want to strictly implement 6 months rule, then you use SUBMONS function(I will leave it to you)
