Answer / Amit Pant

In JCL, parameters can be passed using the LINKAGE SECTION with a suitable PARAMETER clause. The syntax for passing a parameter using linkage section is as follows:

//STEPLIB(libname) libref(mylib)
//PARM(parameter1=value1, parameter2=value2)

where 'libname' is the name of the library containing the JCL steps, 'libref' is the library reference, and 'parameter' is the name of the parameter with its corresponding value.
