Answer Posted / muttaiah
Parm: is used to send only 100 chars max
Sysin: we can pass large amount of data. Say even a file.
when passing data from parm, there should be a linkage
section in cobol program.
whereas in case of sysin there should be an accept stmt for
each line in sysin.
Please do correct me if i'm wrong.

Is their any set of rules for dd? Explain.
which utility is used to sort a file in jcl?
I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
