Hi,

I am calling a cobol load from my Rexx program as below. But the data is not getting passed correctly. Please let me know if I need to make any changes to the below call.

Code:

/*Rexx*/
address tso "call 'MY.COBOL.LOADLIB(TEST1234)' 'ABCDE'"
----------------------


* COBOL Program
Code:

LINKAGE SECTION.
01 VAR1 PIC X(05).           
PROCEDURE DIVISION USING VAR1.
       DISPLAY ' VAR1=' VAR1
       GOBACK.
----------------------


The displays in the cobol are coming as
VAR1= :ABC

Thanks in advance

bullfighter,


Please do not post the same question in more than 1 forum. I deleted your duplicate post in the utilities forum.

You need to define the parm length field in the linkage section. Try this code

Code:

Linkage Section.

01 L-VAR.
   02 PARM-LEN    PIC S9(4) comp.
   02 PARM-DATA   PIC X(05).

PROCEDURE DIVISION USING L-VAR.


Hope this helps...

Cheers
