Hi,

Can you tell me whether we can access PDS member in Cobol program.
If we can, what should be DD statement in JCL & File definition in
Cobol program.

Thanks
Sameer.

Jeez. It wouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to test this yourself.
How the heck are we supposed to know what your file definition should look l
ike?
You didn't tell us anything about your dataset.

//SYS001 DD DSN=SOME.PDS.NAME(MEMBER),DISP=SHR

SELECT SYS001-INPUT-FILE ASSIGN TO SYS001.

FD  SYS001-INPUT-FILE
BLOCK CONTAINS 0 RECORDS.

01  SYS001-INPUT-RECORD     PIC X(80).

What are you really trying to do?  The example above will work, but
doesn't cover all the possible cases.
