Difference between CALL and EXEC DLI

Post by Aashiq » Wed Apr 25, 2012 5:39 am

Hi,

I am new to IMS, I have learnt from book that ENTRY AND CALL are important to give the control from DLITCB and CBLTDLI.

But all the programs in my project uses EXEC DLI GN using PCB,segment(operand),Segment IO area.

And moreover none of the PCB's are linked in linkage section, they are defined in working storage section.


Could you please let me know the difference between EXECDLI and ENTRY, CALL Statement.

If you find something in the manual that is not clear, post what you found and your doubt.

Someone should be able to clarify.
Have a good one
