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 )

(1,1),NOTIFY=xxxx
//
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

Our issue is there seems to be a disconnect, or no link, between our SELECT statement and our SD. We had SELECT SORT-FILE and SELECT SORT-FILE ASSIGN TO SORTWRK. ASSIGN TO SORTWRK1 SORTWRK2 SORTWRK3 SORTWRK4. with SD SORT_FILE RECORD CONTAINS 7833 CHARACTERS. In either case, at run time, the system ignored our SORTWRK# DD statements and allocated 16 sort works with the SORTWK## naming convention. Any ideas why the system does not recognize the connection? We do not even need the SORTWRK DD statements. Thanks
