Answer / shwetha
Consider the Controll Card(Sysin) as an infile to the
program.
JS010 EXEC PGM=pgm,
REGION=0M
STEPLIB DD DSN=Loadlib,
DISP=(SHR,KEEP,KEEP)
INFILE DD DSN=xxxx.xxxx.SYSIN(control card),
DISP=(SHR,KEEP,KEEP)
(Where xxxx.xxxx.SYSIN -Sysin PDS)
Read it as an infile and download it to the Table defined
in your Program.

and move it into a working storage variable
Later using a subscript / index we can move the value into
an array.
