What have you tried?
Did it work?
If not, what were the messages/errors? |

Do you mean can we use program IDCAMS in another COBOL program?
I hope you know the purpose of IBM supplied utility program IDCAMS, which is used to do many things like creating clusters.
Why ever you want to call a utility program from COBOL? |

The answer is Yes, and there are many reason you would want to call
IBM utilities and others from a user written program. |

Hi Rahul,
You can call IDCAMS from your cobol program. There is a provision available for submitting a JCL from your program.
This JCL can contain your IDCAMS utility.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

One approach that works is this:
COBOL calls REXX.
REXX calls IDCAMS.
The Rexx middleman may not be necessary. |
