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
