Customizing for processing COBOL copybooks

If you want to use COBOL copybooks with FM/CICS, a COBOL compiler must be made available to FM/CICS.

File Manager provides an internal version of the COBOL compiler and you can also use another supported COBOL compiler, if one is made available to FM/CICS. See the instructions in Customizing for processing COBOL copybooks, substituting all references to the TSO logon procedure with the FM/CICS batch procedure, FMN3CICB.

For example, a supported COBOL compiler can be made available to FM/CICS by adding the FMNCOB DD statement to FMN3CICB.

This step must be completed if you are using COBOL copybooks through the FM/CICS interface, or through the File Manager base function interface running under FM/CICS.

Note: This functionality requires ADATA, therefore the COBOL compiler must be one that has the ADATA capability. COBOL compilers such as VS COBOL II, and OS/COBOL, which do not support ADATA, cannot be used. All currently supported versions of IBM® Enterprise COBOL for z/OS® and OS/390® provide this support, and can therefore be used.
