Cobol:

javedsk12,

You do NOT have to have an accept statement. Remove the accept statement and run the program, it should display the correct value.

Your accept statement tries to get the input from SYSIN which I guess is not there in your JCL.

You could try adding a comma:

//step1 exec pgm=cobpro,parm=123456

As Mervyn indicates, your "parm=123456" phrase is considered a comment because the space following the program name terminated the EXEC statement. Please see JCL manual.

mervyn

if i am putting an comma to separate the parm parameter from step so it is giving maxcc=8 if i am omitting the comma then running fine and we need to accept the values which are in linkage section to use them in procedre division.

javed Very Happy

If you decide to use the LINKAGE SECTION to read your parameter, then PAR1-LEN must be defined with a usage of BINARY or COMP-5, not DISPLAY. Before referring to PAR1-DATA, check the value of PAR1-LEN. All of this is in the JCL manual and language reference manual.

This works fine for us. There is no ACCEPT in the program:

javedsk12 · Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 6:29 am Post subject: parm

this is my compile jcl

//ISAM21SS JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//LIB JCLLIB ORDER=ISAM21.AAA.PDS
//STEP EXEC PROC=IGYWCL PARM=12345
//COBOL.SYSIN DD DSN=ISAM21.AAA.PDS(TEST1),DISP=SHR
//LKED.SYSLMOD DD DSN=ISAM21.AAA.LOADPDS(TEST1),DISP=SHR

cobol program:

IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. CH03EX03.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
DATA DIVISION.
LINKAGE SECTION.
01 PARM.
02 DATA-LEN PIC S9(4) COMP-4.
02 DATA1 PIC X(100).
PROCEDURE DIVISION USING PARM.
DISPLAY PARM. STOP RUN.

previously i was using the accept st but this one too is not working

javed,

the PARM does not belong in the compile JCL (proc=IGYWCL). put it on the step when you execute your compiled program.

//ST1 EXEC PGM=TEST1,PARM=123456
//STEPLIB DD DSN=ISAM21.AAA.LOADPDS,DISP=SHR
