I am having two rexx program. Through program A i am writing a JCL where I am trigering a Rexx program B. Now I need to pass a value from program A to program B. Is there any way to pass the values.?

Since you're building the JCL for program B, can't you just write the variable contents into the JCL as an input file for program B?

You just read the input file.

I assume that program A is not expecting to get information created by program B. If it is then your application is designed incorrectly. An online program should (almost) never need to submit a job and wait for the results. Almost anything you can do in batch you an do online.

ok as Mervyn said, I had moved the content in the batch job, Now i am facing problem on receiveing the value in the Program B. Can anyone help me. In JCL in had given the following value
//CTLCARD DD *
dummy
code
/*

In the prorgam B i am getting by using
Var1 = strip(ctlparm.1)
Var2 = strip(ctlparm.2)
But I am not getting any values in the Var1 and Var2

What am I missing on this whole conversation?

Wouldn't A create the JCL and pass the parameter(s) to B in a PARM statement, i.e.
