Hi,

I have used PARM in my programs and JCL. Is there any way to pass a value, from JCL to a COBOL program other than PARM?

Thanks in advance.

What are you wanting to do? Most people use PARM or a files to get data into a COBOL program.

What values from the JCL do you have that you can't pass through a PARM or a DD?
