Because at our site we have an ASSEMBLER coded interface module between every two application modules that does the control transfer (and the module load at first call, the AMODE switch etc.), we are able to count the module calls by replacing this interface module by a special one which collects

A question was asked here whether the number of times a COBOL CALL was done to various subroutines in a batch job step could somehow be reported out of system-generated information. We were informed by local SMF specialists that LINK/LOAD/XCTL/ATTACH/DETACH counts were not available from SMF re
