Answer / mdvasanth86
In a Cobol-DB2 program, which is essentially a COBOL program
with SQL statements embedded into it, COBOL is the host
language and DB2 is the guest ( 'non-host' for lack of a
better word ).
When it is a pure COBOL program , there really is no point
in calling it a host variables, however, you can still call it.

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
