If something like hyperswap has moved the IODF to another device, then you can
use the IOCINFO "IODFINFO" service and get the information from the IODI
structure that is returned :

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
IOCINFO IODFINFO=xx
If success and bit IODI_IODFUCBInvld is off, the UCB address is in
IODI_IODFUCB and the device number can be ascertained from that.

It is whatever your installation called it!
Which COBOL?
Many installations use something like IGY or IGY630 or IGY.V630 or IGY.V6R3M0
as an HLQ. You could look for those in ISPF 3.4.

LINKPGM, which is essentially Assembler LINK macro, works well
for such as ICSF; less

Is there a Rexx facility to enumerate "available environments"? I suspect not,

You should have a LOAD() and a DELETE() funtion, not new environments. Also,
you would need new sytax for LINK, ATTACH, LINKMVS, ATTACHMVS, LINKPGM and

AFAIK, Easytrieve scripts generate actual object code, not COBOL code, for at
least the versions of which I am aware (versions 4.x, 5.x and 6.x in my
experience all generate object code).

Assuming that you are licensed for the relevant COBOL compiler, it's not
difficult to do the compiles with ISPF panels, either in foreground or by
submitting batch jobs.

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.

What you could do is use
ISRDDN
Once you get the new panel, enter LINKLIST
Then on the command line enter IGY*
If you have authority to the Linklist datasets, you should see where those
modules exist
If you have a vendor providing you with the modules for your CICS system. What

YES,
we are a CICS shop and I have been here for 2 yrs. And have never seen a cobol

We have a new vendor that wants to compile Cobol . I have set up REXX full

If you don't have COBOL developers in house it seems unlikely you would have
purchased the COBOL compiler.
Can't the vendor supply you with binary executables that they have compiled?

So this will depend on what products your shop has licensed.
A Cobol Complier is a licensed product
Talk to you management team I the shop see if you are licensed. If not, then
your vendor will need to find other options.

Sorry - some details got dropped
Once the ISRDDN panel is up on the command line enter
M IGY*
See what libraries show up with those modules.
If you do find IGY in the linklst - then you should not need to do anything.
An Object lib should have everything
What issues are you seeing?

I did use the ISPF panels in TSO it keeps terminating with rc code 20.
PS I knew someone was going to come up with the "SLEZTRIVE thing"
Anyway in VSE we have MSHP I guess I will do a SMP/E listing and see if and
where it lives.

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.
COBOL compiler doesn't come with z/os. It is separately purchased and
licensed, so since you are asking, you may not have it.
