Hi,

my problem is as below

Currently in our program the system variable &CREATOR is used as a qualifier of some of the tables.Need to find out how in the C program can we use it dynamically to qualify the tables.either through JCL or any other means?

How to pass parameters to a C program through a JCL. What changes need to be made in C program.

Regards,
Vani

Hi Vani,

Just pass it using the PARM parameter in the EXEC step.

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=MYCPGM,PARM='&CREATOR'

Well, you could code your main as 'main(creator)' or something like that and make sure you define that variable inside the main routine. I'm not really a 'C' guy but, i remember a few things here and there.

Enjoy,
Vinay
