What is a GDG? How is it referenced? How is it defined? What
is a MODELDSCB?
Answer Posted / krithiga hari
Generation Data Groups or GDGs are a group of data sets
which are related to each other chronologically and
functionally.
Generation 0 references the current generation.
Generation -1 references the generation just before the
current generation.
Generation +1 references the generation just after the
current generation.
MODELDSCB is a model prototype which contains the
specification for the DCB subparameters for all data sets
that will belong to the GDG. Each time a data set belonging
to that GDG is created, it will use the DCB subparameters
specified in the model prototype.

How do you run a COBOL batch program from a JCL? How do you run a COBOL/DB2 program?
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.
