How can parameters or values be passed from COBOL program to JCL ? I am not talking about writing records with help of COOBOL in files used in JCL.

You can pass the value in the RETURN-CODE register from the program back to the calling JCL.

As is often repeated here, JCL is not a programming language. All values are interpreted before any programs are started. Your only options are using return codes or some shared resource (files or data base entries usually) that all steps read and write, but that has nothing to do with JCL per se.
