Hello,

( 1) Cobol pgm A (load in PDS dataset) statically calling Cobol pgm B (load in PDS-E dataset). Compilation went thru. However, it abended during execution with OC1.
( 2) My question, it is right to have load in PDS dataset statically called another load in PDS-E dataset?
If able to, it is documented somewhere? What could be the possible cause of error above?
( 3) Pls advise urgently. Thank you.

.Hoe San.

bay hoe san,

I don't think PDS & PDS-E dataset has got anything to do with the abend. What are the DCB parameters of the datasets involved. Also remember when you are URGENT help make sure that you provide enough information. Post all the error messages so that we can help you.

PS: Avoid putting "urgent" in your topics.

bay hoe san,

you did not mention the link-edit step. did that also have an ok completion?

If you are making a static call (and not dynamic) then PGM B's load object is already part of your PGM-A executable after the link - if you linked. What is the output of the link-edit? Does it include PGM-B? If not, you are dynamically calling.

Though IBM provides this little disclaimer in the Z/OS Intro:

Here is a link to redbooks covering PDSE's

or a direct link

i doubt if you can link the load module and the load object. also, i don't think the environment addressed by the invocation of pgm-a is a suitable environment for pgm-b to execute, when it is called.
