Hi,

I'm calling a COBOL program from a REXX routine after allocation all required DD names. But the called COBOL routine inturn calls an another program dynamically which is located in a different loadlib. I don't have access to move the loads to a single library. Is there any way to concatenate multiple loadlib in REXX during a COBOL program call ?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Prasath.

Prasath,

How are you excueting your REXX exec ? In match mode or interactively ?

If you are calling it from ISPF, see the LIBDEF service with the LIBRARY command and call the program using ISPEXEC SELECT CMD(). That will set up a tasklib so that the LOAD macros used during the dynamic calls will search the tasklib for your 2nd module.

If you were making this call in assembler instead of letting ISPF do it, it would be an ATTACH with a DCB parameter to set up a tasklib.
