The format for the DD statement would be same for main program or subprogram. The only difference is when specifying DSN name for main program it will be //step name DD DSN=userid.name of directory.PDS file and for subdirectory //stepname DD DSN=userid.name of directory.PDSfile.member file.

If you r calling your sub pgm dynamically then DD stmt would be://SETP01 exec IGYWCL//COBOL.SYSIN DD DSN= NAME OF PDS(MAIN PROGRAM //LKED.SYSLMOD DD DSN= PDS NAME FOR LOAD MODULE//STEPLIB DD DSN=( NAME OF PDS WHICH CONTAINS THE LOAD MODULE OF SUB PGM) FOR STATIC CALL //STEP01 EXEC IGYWCL //COBOL.SYSIN DD DSN= NAME OF PDS(MAIN PROGRAM //LKED.SYSLMOD DD DSN= PDS NAME FOR LOAD MODULE//LKED.SYSLIB DD DSN=( NAME OF PDS WHICH CONTAINS THE LOAD MODULE OF SUB PGM)
