How to configure program locations to use Cobol - CALL ?
Hi Experts
Some days ago I've asked about compilation and linkedition of mainframe cobol code.
I have a doubt about the CALL command, since it could call programs inside other locations
My doubt is : could a program call another program at other libraries ?
If so, how to configure it ?
According to:
Library : built around the concept of a three tier layout to a dataset / file name
project - The catalogue High level prefix under which the dataset is stored.
group - The basic name identifier of the dataset
type - a third level indicating the type of data being stored
Member - for a PDS(e) Partitioned Dataset the name of the element actually containing the Data...

garypfirstech is correct.
If you are familure with how distributed systems work you can think of linklst, JOBLIB, STEPLIB, as the PATH varible, or in Java as the CLASSPATH variable.

Good.
But in therms of
Library/ project/ group / type Member -
for a PDS(e) Partitioned Dataset the name of the element actually containing the Data
How must be this cards configurated - using the directives you've pointed ?
(since I'm in the correct way)

Now it's up to me to deep the knowledge.
You can find details on both of these situations in the COBOLProgramming Guide (http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/igy3pg50/CCONTENTS?SHELF=EZ2ZBK0K&DN=SC23-8529-01&DT=20090820210412) in chapter 4.1
