How do you pass some input from JCL to PL1?..

Answer / amit krishna

You can pass inputs to a PL/1 Program through a JCL by two ways.

1- Through PARM.
Through this method PARM=parameter keyword is mentioned on the EXEC statement in JCL. The supplied PARM should be received through an argument in MAIN PL/1 program & Further declared accordingly.

//STEP02 EXEC PGM=PL1PGM,
// PARM='20110423'

PL1PGM: PROC(PARM) OPTIONS(MAIN);

2- Through SYSIN

Through this method SYSIN statement followed by the parameter to be placed in the JCL. In the PL/1 program

It is necessary to use a "//SYSIN DD *" statment in the JCL.

//STEP02 EXEC PGM=PL1PGM
|
|
//SYSIN DD *
20110423
/*

OR You can write the input in a file.
//SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MY.INPUT.DATASET(INPUT)
