Explain about LMGET�read a logical record from a data set..

Answer / dimpy19

1.The LMGET service reads one logical record from the data set associated with the given data ID.
2.Completion of the LMINIT and LMOPEN services for the data set is required before LMGET is invoked.
3.If the data to be processed is a sequential data set, the first LMGET reads the first logical record. Later invocations read successive logical records
4.If the data is an ISPF library or MVS� partitioned data set, previous completion of the LMMFIND service is required in addition to completion of LMINIT and LMOPEN.
The LMGET service reads from the last member referred to by the LMMFIND service in the data sets being processed. Thus, if LMMFIND is issued referencing member A,
LMGET reads from member A. If another LMMFIND is issued referencing member B, LMGET reads from member B, not member A.

In all our JOB Statement we have always COND=(4,LT) defined. Nevertheless when a Job failed the last step should then be executed (send a message to an user). Due to we don't like to change all our JOB's (ca. 2000), we are looking for a simply solution.

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
