COBBOL abend code S806

When you get an abend code S806 while executing a cobol program through a JCL.
The abend message looks as below:






This abend is caused because the load module of the cobol program that we are trying to execute is not present in the STEPLIB library mentioned in the JCL. So for resolution compile the cobol code pointing the STEPLIB as the dataset mentioned in your JCL and then execute your program.
