//TESTCOB EXEC PGM=DTXTESTC,REGION=250M,
// PARM='SINKMAP /VX15 ALLEMPS /XPLINK(ON)'
//*
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&TESTLIB
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&DTXLIB
//*
//** IBM Websphere Transformation Extender SINKMAP example map
//SINKMAP DD DSN=&MAPLIB(DTXSMMVS),DISP=SHR
//*
//*IBM Websphere Transformation Extender Log/Audit/Trace/Debug outputs
.....
where the mapname to be run is DTXSMMVS. Is there any way we can override this in the program and specify the mapname in the program itself instead of DD Name ?

I would suggest the easy way to call a map from any application program is to call a .bat file.

Create a .bat file and use the DTXCMDSV command to call the map and provide the command line arguments to over ride the input and output files.

Then call the bat file from the application program.

But to do this, you need to have WTX runtime environment installed in the system.

Hope this helps.
