When ever your batch program is involked under the control
of the DL/I batch intialization module, DL/I first load the
appropriate control blocks and modules, then loads your
application program and passes control to it. Declare
DLITCBL as an entry point to your program by coding
following ENTRY statement,
ENTRY 'DLITCBL' USING PCB-name1
PCB-name2...
Similarly, when your program ends, it must pass control back
to DL/I so that DL/I can deallocate its resources and close
your data base data sets.. To do that, you code a GOBACK
statement, not a STOP RUN statment.
