Support for Nested COBOL programs

The DB2 ECM allows you to work with nested COBOL programs.

By default, DB2 interface code is generated for every nested COBOL program. To avoid generating DB2 interface code for each nested program, use the DB2 directive IGNORE-NESTED. To use the IGNORE-NESTED directive properly, there is one restriction that you should be aware of:

• You must specify the PROGRAM-ID statement in the program for which you wish DB2 interface code to be generated. Otherwise, a compile error occurs.
