Issue/Introduction

When browsing an Ideal application load module there are several pieces of metadata that can identify the source program as well as compile dates.

Environment

Component : Ideal 15.1 ( and older versions)

Resolution

Identifying the Ideal program load module

Using CICS transaction IPCV or IDLX (IDEA), issue the following command:

=> @I$SCF PGM=loadmodulename

(Note that the information can also be found via CICS DBUT M=loadmodulename transaction.)

This example shows the load module information for program PHBEDIT in system ARP, using this display:

 

Module offset (hex)	Description	Value in Module
8	Common  Ideal load module coremark	QQQQLMID
10	Module name (7char) with suffix U, R, S or P Note: The suffix reflects the module type:                R = reentrant (non-updateable)                U = updateable                S = symbol table                P = reentrant part of panel	PHBEDITU
1B	Ideal system name	ARP
1E	Source program name	PHBEDIT
26	Source program version	013
29	Ideal compile date/time (yymmddhhmmss)	160616104401
35	Ideal release	140
3A	Program Name	PHBEDIT
41	Date/time created (yymmddhhmmss)	161212170346
4D	Ideal program release	140

The above information should also be seen in the Datadictionary when using the DDOL command

=> DISPLAY ATTRIBUTE /MODULE, $IPGMprogramname(PROD)
