What is the Linkage section? What is the Use and Why the
parm length use alway "PARM-LENGTH PIC S9(4) or PIC S9
(4) COMP." any reason?.Please let me know any one...
Cheers,Prasad
Answer Posted / srinivas.d
because in first two bytes it stores length.If u don't give
s9(4),then there are chances of two bytes data truncation.
Linkage section is used in main program when parm fiels is
used in jcl or in sub program when main program calls sub
program.
