//IN01 DD *
%PROCESSID=20070302201015005
/*
Can anyone tell me what the %PROCESSID stands for?
thanks in advance.

that is part of instream data to something. You need to provide the STEP JCL.

%PROCESSID= is a parm for something. I don't recognize it off-hand. What is the STEP executing?

is it used for passing parameter from jcl to cobol ?

you don't pass anything from JCL to anything.

The IN01 DD defines a resource for the STEP. Since it is instream data it must be an input resource, and since it contains '%PROCESSID=20070302201015005', yes it is input to something, but it does not have to be a COBOL program.

Until you answer my question:

What is the executing pgm for the Step which contains the IN01 DD Statement?

and supply the JCL for the Step, no one can answer your question, unless they recognize the syntax '%PROCESSID='

I ran a search thru the manuals at the z/OS V1.6 Library Server and REDBOOKS and did not come up with a hit. Also, did a google. only thing close is $ProcessID and that was for the wolfram mathematica kernel.

//IN01 DD *

the cobol file:

FD IN01
RECORDING MODE IS F.
01 IN01-REC.
03 FILLER PIC X(011).
03 IN01-SHRI-NO PIC X(017).
03 FILLER PIC X(052).

it is easy to know that the value of IN01-SHRI-NO =20070302201015005
the %PROCESSID= is not important,i can ignore it.

thanks for your reply

Thanks for clearing that up.....
So it took six hours to answer a question that "is not important"? Rolling Eyes

CICS Guy,

hey, at least he did reply.

He is obviously a rookie. The only thing important is that, hopefully, the OP learned something. He did solve his own problem.

keep in mind, that the environment in which many posters work makes them afraid to ask their co-workers, anything! It is like being a consultant and knowing better than asking a consultant from another firm at the job site, anything. He will either provide a false answer or spread the word that you don't know anything.
