Parm in JCL.

[Vinod M]

Hi,

As shown below, I pass value using parm but the parm length in the program is zero while I display that. Any guidance is welcome:

Code: Select all

LINKAGE SECTION. 
01 LS-INPUT-PARM. 
05 LS-PARM-LENGTH PIC S9(04) COMP. 
05 LS-MONTHLY-IND PIC X(21). 

JCL is:

Code: Select all

//R010 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A, 
//* PARM='&IND,&FMDT,&TDT' 
// PARM='D2014-01-012014-01-31',COND=(0,NE)

You did not tell, You did not show enough ...

what is the PGM=IKJEFT1A about ?

[Vinod M]

That's a variant of IKJEFT01 to execute a COBOL-DB2 program.

What you have done is pass the parameter to IKJEFT1A, not to your program. To pass it to your program, you will need to include it on the line where you actually execute your program.
