In Z/OS, the Cobol programs will be running either as online or batch. Going one level deeper the programs are either connected to CICS attachment facility or IMS or DB2. To understand in which environment a program is connected to, rather to understand the type of program, IBM has provided the catalog table SYSPLSYSTEM under the schema SYSIBM. The column SYSTEM provides the name of the system under which it is enabled.
The following query will show the relevant details:SELECT * FROM SYSIBM.SYSPLSYSTEM
WHERE NAME='PXXX';
For this program the program type is IMSMPP and it is enabled. So this program will behave as MPP program under IMS environment.
