Hello Sharmily,

The control file(cofile) and data file are created during the disassemble phase. SPAM uses TP command to disassemble the .PAT file you have downloaded from SMP. This phase also fill up some system tables. So, the ,PAT file has included the cofile, datafile, and some system table entries, such as the dependency, description of the SP, etc.

Best Regards,

Joe
