The Language Reference and Programming Guide manuals cover that pretty well. Have you looked there?

//ddname DD DSN=your.dataset,DISP=SHR

That is JCL for providing data to a program. If that is not what you mean then what do you mean? If you mean the JCL for compiling and linking look at the relevant Programming Guide.

You can't pass it directly to the subprogram, you would have to pass it to the calling program and then the calling program can pass it to the called program.

Craig has already answered your query. Are you still looking for the code to pass data thru Linkage section ?

How to code a parm in JCL as per the manuals:

//STEPXX EXEC PGM=MYPGM,PARM=parameter

Use quotes around the parameter if necessary or even if not necessary.

How to pick it up in your program: it is in the manual and on the forums.
