Answer / abhijit saha
You can do it using SYSIN parameter in JCl and ACCEPT in
COBOL-
JCL using SYSIN
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=CBLPRGM
//STEPLIB DD DSN=SOMETIME.DEMO.LOADLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
This is a single parameter from STEP01 and SYSIN
/*
Cobol Pgm which uses this JCl
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
..........................
01 SYSIN-PARAMETER pic X(80) value SPACES.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
..........................
ACCEPT SYSIN-PARAMETER from SYSIN

In three ways we can pass the data from JCL to COBOL
1. By specifying in the PARM parameter
2. Sysindd *
3. Through files we can pass
i.e.,
//disk1 dd dsn=oza047.cobol.file1

Hi All,
Please try to understand the Question here.
They want to pass data from JCl to cobol subprogram not to
cobol program.
The above answers are used in case of passing data from JCL
to cobol.
