How To Call A Program From AS400
I have a call program...example: CALL PGM (DELTE/RECV)...that I want to run in two different environments...Production (PROD2) and Test (TEST2). My question is...how can I specifically run the program separately in both environments. In other words, I want to run it in test, then run it in production. Thank you in advance for your assistance!
Or create your own CL something like:
and start with CALL MYCLPGM PARM ('TEST2')
PGM PARM(&ENV)
DCL VAR &ENV *CHAR (10)
Addlible &ENV *FIRST
CALL PGM (DELTE/RECV)
Rmvlible &ENV
ENDPGMand start with CALL MYCLPGM PARM ('TEST2')
What's the problem with calling it in different environments? Are PROD2 and TEST2 two physically separate systems? Two LPARS in a single machine? Two different libraries? Does the program qualify data references?
This question needs an answer!

If it is a batch program, you might have different job descriptions containing different library lists that you would yse when submitting jobs.
Some shops may have custom CL commands or CL programs set up that you can use to switch between environments.
Best thing to do is ask another developer familiar with the environment, or inspect the Initial Program setup for various production and dev users for clues.
Inspect jobds.
Unfortunately, there is no "one way".
