Re: IODF address
I don't have all the technical details, but there tends to be occasional DASD movement where FDRPAS is used to non-disruptively "move' the contents of a volume from one unit address to another. Where I fit in is I have written a (rexx based) automation routine that displays old/current IPL information to new/requested IPL information for operator verification, but used the STORAGE() function to collect that information. After discovering "moved" volumes don't reflect current values when using STORAGE(), I switched to parsing console command output. It's not the end of the world doing so, but I end up getting 50 words to look at when I am only interested in 1.

Seems to me you'd get almost all the benefit with little effort to just write a simple program that LINKMVS could call to LOAD a module.

Re: COBOL LIB
And some long-time installations chose decades ago to consolidate program products into a common product library (to keep SYS1.LINKLIB smaller and allow products to live together but somewhere off the SYSRES pack(s)) and didn't migrate away from that "standard" when upgrading over the years. Inertia is a powerful force. So it's really whatever history your installation has and the whims of former sysprogs and their managers.

Re: COBOL LIB
To the OP: If your COBOL PROC's do not have a STEPLIB pointing to where the compiler lives, you may be able to find out where it is by using DDLIST (or TSO ISRDDN if that doesn't work) and then the "LINK" and "M IGYCRCTL" subcommands to see where in the LINKLIST the main compiler module lives. If any libraries in the LINKLIST are read-protected you will get some 913 security abends, so if you aren't authorized be wary. Your security team may come after you!

Re: COBOL LIB
Well I am a newbie in Z/OS my expertise is in VSE. But... everything here is hold on to your hat... EASYTRIEVE. I have not look at a complete Easytrieve compile but doesn't it produce cobol code? We get our CICS online System compiled and shipped from a vendor and just load it to a loadlib. I looked on 3.4 of TSO for IGY and found NONE. Thank you all.

Re: COBOL LIB
Perhaps you're thinking of TELON, from the Easytrieve company Pansophic (bought by CA in 1991), which does produce COBOL.
