Implementing COBOL Exits

When using the COBOL exit option, follow these implementation guidelines:

• When running CA JCLCheck with the IBM COBOL/VS runtime routines, compile the COBOL program with the NODYAM and resident options. Use JCL AZ2XCOB in the CAZ2JCL as a sample.
• When running CA JCLCheck with the IBM COBOL II runtime routines, compile the program with the NODYNAM and resident options. Use JCL AZ2XCB2 in the CAZ2JCL as a sample.
• When running CA JCLCheck with the IBM LE/370 runtime options, compile the program with the NODYNAM option and linkedit it using the LE/370 link library CEE.SCEELKED for the SYSLIB. Use JCL AZ2XCEE in the CAZ2JCL as a sample.

  Note: When using LE/370 COBOL for the COBOL exit, the SPIE must be turned off. This can be done by coding the runtime options module with TRAP(OFF) and linking it into the COBOL exit. This is documented in the Language Environment for OS/390 Customization Manual. Otherwise, this can create problems, such as S46D ABENDS.

• Place the COBOL load module in a library that is accessible to CA JCLCheck using the LINK macro.
