DCLGEN, in a very basic sense, is just a (COBOL) copybook equivalent of a table structure. You can even write COPY some-dclgen and that will work. But as DCLGEN is generated using DB2 it is usually included using INCLUDE DCLGEN-name, just to "show" that this piece of information belong to DB2, though that's' not mandatory as has been said.

As Anuj said, it's not a mandate imposed by the system. They are used for easy understanding of the code.

No, it's not mandatory.

On the other hand, we don't encourage such discussions in the Guest Area - suggest you join us and then post the question in the appropriate part of the Forum.

Hi,

In an interview I was asked - is it mandatory to use DCLGEN? If not, why would you use it at all?
