The real problem is why the copylib/include is not being picked up.
If your compile can't find the macro, you'll get one error having to do with not finding the macro, and a 'variable not defined' for every reference to the variables defined in the macro.kckinney

1. Program will not abend, but there will be trancation in data,
Given in program 'APPLE' the value stored in database will be 'APPL'.
This is what I assume ---> As long as DCLGEN is a generated, but program not yet compiled, the old load and DBRM's bind remains the same and the only thing would be trancation in data at runtime.Srinivas17738
