Hello everybody,

Our installation is running z/OS 1.8, IBM Enterprise COBOL for z/OS 3.4.1. If 
I'm missing something here, let me know.

I've looked in our Cobol language reference and the programming guide and of 
course, searched the web. If the answer's there, I've not found it.

How many FD/SD statements can a Cobol program have? According to my System 390 
JCL manual, a job step can have 3273 DD statements. So, I expect a Cobol 
program could not have more than that.

Perhaps there is no defined maximum other than the maximum Cobol program size, 
whatever that is. Can anybody tell me?


        Regards,
