Answer / saisankar

there are two ways to send data to the application prog.
1)parm (for small amount of data)
2)sysin(for large amount of data)

1)parm: is used to send the data to application prog
(eg;.cobol)

upto 100 characters.

2)sysin:is used to send the data to application prog
(eg;.cobol)

large amounts.

Answer / swathi

Also, in SYSIN we can give the data directly. But when you
are using PARM, the data is passed with the help of linkage
section to corresponding program.

Answer / vinay sonar

Maximum length of data that can be given using parm is 100
chatachers for more length use sysin.

Answer / 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.

upto 100 characters.

2)sysin:is used to send the data to application prog

large amounts.
examples:

1) using JCL with sysin. //sysin dd *here u code the parameters(value) to pass in to cobol program /* and in program
you use accept variable name(one accept will read one row)/.another way.
2) in jcl using parm statement ex: in exec statement parm='whatever' in cobol pgm u have to code linkage section in that for first value you code length variable and variable name say, abc pic x(4).it will take john inside to read next value u have to code another variable in the same way above mentioned.
