Process-level data

Start of change The Process Control Block section of the dump, shown in Figure 1, displays COBOL process-level control blocks THDCOM, COBCOM, COBVEC, and ITBLK. For Enterprise COBOL V5.1 and later releases, the process-level control blocks are COBPCB (corresponds to THDCOM), COBRCB (corresponds to COBCOM) and LIBVEC (corresponds to COBVEC). The control blocks are dumped for IBM® service personnel use. In a non-CICS environment, the ITBLK control block only appears when a VS COBOL II program is active. In a CICS® environment, the ITBLK control block always appears. End of change
