Answer / lakshmisudha

maximum unlimited data you can pass within //sysin dd *

if you want pass within line that is depends upon the
creation of ur dataset if lrecl=80 you can pass 72 char
maximum you can define lrecl=150

Answer / muttaiah

I have a doubt here,,
Generally sysin is retrieved through accept stmt from cobol
program.
each accept stmt can read one line of sysin data.

considering this a line can be max of 71 or 72 char's

so i think the length of sysin will be 71 or 72..

IF WE GIVE COND on step3 then, What does the following mean ? And Just adding to that, All the below COND are VALID as per the specifications. (i) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2) ---(AND/OR ?) (ii) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2, ONLY), (iii) COND = (8,LT,step1,ONLY) will it execute only if this condition is true or only if step1 ABENDS ? (iv) COND = (8,LT,step1,step2,EVEN), (v) COND = (8,LT,step1,EVEN) ?
