Hi, I am having a JCL where in I am passing a set of values to COBOL using PARM.

For Eg., //COBCAL EXEC PGM=PSWRITE,PARM="1004 NEERAJ KUMAR 25 10000"

1004 - EMPLOYEE NO
NEERAJ KUMAR - EMPLOYEE NAME
25 - AGE
10000 - SALARY

In which section do we need to define the parameter variables in COBOL and how to do?
Please any one help me.

I believe that you need to define something in the Linkage section of the program.
It's over 25 years since I played COBOL, so things may have changed since then.

Thanks Expat, Can Anyone please make sure the above question...?

It is the Linkage section,

Very Thanks Steve... How many characters we can pass at the max? (I asking for the length of PARM)??

I believe 100 is the limit.

Thanks Steve..
