COBOL

  • 1.  JCL for compiling simple Cobol Hello Word source code to executable

    Posted Wed February 21, 2024 11:14 AM

    Good Evening

    I struggle with JCL and compilation. I have to admit I know nearly nothing about JCL.

    Could anybody provide me with valid JCL to compile simple source code file ?
    I have Cobol source file HELLO on dataset IBMUSER.APP.COBOL
    I have dataset IBMUSER.APP.O prepared for object files

    My compiler is IGY630.SIGYCOMP

    Regards,

    Piotr

    If you have no input or output data sets, you can delete the lines at the bottom:

    //input data set(s)

    and

    //output data set(s)

    Good luck!

    Hi Geoffrey,
    your script helped a lot, Thank you. I have it done.

    Could you please let me know what and where do I need to add to above JCL
    to be able to compile and link against my custom library (DLL) that I have in IBMUSER.APP.LIB(MYLIB)

    Regards,

    Piotr
