how many members can be created inside a single pds?

Answer Posted / sreerag p n

i think the total number of members in a pds is related to
the size of directory block. for example ....if you specify
the directory block as 1 then you can create 5 members
inside a partition dataset(pds).if you create more than 5(it
is possible) but you will get region abbend when you run the
job....
i hope this is correct.....

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.
