program
I'm trying to write a batch cobol/db2 pgm wich receive in
linkage section some paremeters
I succeeded to pass a static string of characters but what
I need is variable parameters (INPUT )

// REGION=0M
// SET INPUT=MYNAME <=====
//PH01S01 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20,COND=(4,LT)
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
DSN SYSTEM(DBSN)
RUN PROGRAM(COBPROG) PLAN(NACPLN) -
PARMS('INPUT') -
LIB('MYDB.TRNSCTN.LOADLIB')
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//INFILE DD DSN=MYDB(&INPUT),DISP=SHR
//ERRLST DD SYSOUT=P,DCB=RECFM=F,FCB=L56
The program (cobprog) is that when I run the job ,if PARMS
('&INPUT') returns :&INPUT and
if PARMS(&INPUT) returns :null
i need "myname" to the cobol/db2 program and name of the
member (DSN=MYDB(&INPUT),DISP=SHR)

There are a set of 10 files and a customer will be selecting random no of files(i.e they may be more than 2, may not be in the order).Sometimes he might just select one file or sometimes no files at all.How do you code a JCL for this? Is it possible to code just JCL alone for this problem?
