if my GDG limit has been kept as 50 and if am trying to put
60 records.what would happen. will there be any abend for
this scenario

Answer Posted / anil singh

There will not be any abend. The first 10 generations would
be deleted and only the last 50 generations will be stored.
For every addition more than the limit(50 here), the first
generation will be deleted. i.e, if 51st generation is
created, the first generation will be deleted, leaving only
50 generations at the end.

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.
