Hi,

I want to know if there is a way to pass user-defined parameters (received through linkage section) to IMS DLI program.

That is, for a normal COBOL program we pass such parameters through JCL itself and receive in Linkage Section. And for Cobol DB2 programs we can pass this through the DB2 run card. How to do a similar thing for IMS DLI pgm? This is how I run my pgm..

//CH065B10 EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,
// PARM='DLI,CH532010,CH532010,,,,,,,,,,,N'

I know that we have to pass the PSB and program name in the PARM value in the JCL.

Thanks

This solution works in any case.

But one small clarification.

I have PL1 program reading IMS & DB2. If i have to pass a parm through JCL how do i do it.

(for simple batch & Batch with DB2 we can do it by parm parameter in JCL).

But in case of BMP????

The easiest way is to define an input file in the program and code the file in your JCL as instream data.

hchinnam,

Try this JCL code:

Ya I agree with you. this could be one solution.

But i just want to know simplest solution (if exist).

for example i have DB2 pgm I can pass Parm using a file or i can use method shown below.

//SYSTSIN DD *
DSN SYSTEM(PDB2)
RUN PROGRAM (KDGHNDC) PLAN (KDGHNDC) -
LIBRARY('KKB.KKBLIB') -
PARMS('/KDGUNLD')
END
//*

I will get KDGUNLD in pgm and i can use it.

Is there any option similer to this for a BMP.
