Problem:

The Mainframe Call Generator document, MCGREF3B.PDF, located on the Supportline web site under 'Micro Focus Product Updates, Host Connectivity Updates (for v3.1)', describes compiler options to use for the mainframe COBOL DB2 program. We use the default DB2 preprocessor ATTACH option of TSO. Page 10 of the document shows that the COBOL compiler option of DYNAM should be used with RRSAF. We use the COBOL compiler option of NODYNAM for all of our CICS, batch and RRSAF load libraries. We do not want to change this.

Resolution:

The MFA parameter default for MFA_MCG_DB2CONNECTION is RRSAF. When used in conjunction with the DB2 ATTACH(TSO) option, one must use the mainframe COBOL compiler option of DYNAM. After reviewing the options as shown in the chart on page 10 of the document, consider using DB2 ATTACH(RRSAF) as the preprocessor option allowing the use of the COBOL compiler option of NODYNAM.
