How to run a COBOL program from REXX EXEC?

[Satan Singh Rawat]

Hi,

It might be trivial to ask but I'm not sure if this can be done. Can you please let me know how can we run a COBOL program from a private load library using REXX. Any pointer is appreciated.

What do your colleagues say? What do your support say? What manuals have you referred to? Have you searched the forum, other forums, the internet? Assuming you have done all this (which is the correct order of action) - what are the problems that you are having?

You can use ADDRESS LINKMVS or ADDRESS LINKPGM to call a program. Details are at this link: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ ... 0714012324

Collegues are not that supportive for such questions. I have searched but I was not able to make a good hit. Some of the forums are not working in office so I posted here.

Thank you Vijay. I shall work with this.

I've used the below syntax and it is working well:

Code: Select all

/* REXX */ 
Address LINKMVS "MYPROG PARAMETERS" 

Thanks all!
