Hi all,


There is a complicate problem for me .
When I pass data from
Code:
  parm='123456789'

The program receive data as string(123456789) without the '

Code:
//COBOL  EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,REGION=2048K,
//       PARM=('OBJECT,OFFSET,NODECK,LIB',                             
//            'XREF,APOST,MAP')


The parm wrote like this PARM=('OBJECT,OFFSET,NODECK,LIB',
// 'XREF,APOST,MAP') the pgm treat bracket as '?
Is it same as the code:

Code:
//COBOL  EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,REGION=2048K,
//       PARM=('OBJECT,OFFSET,NODECK,LIB, XREF,APOST,MAP')


or

Code:
//COBOL  EXEC PGM=IGYCRCTL,REGION=2048K,
//       PARM='OBJECT,OFFSET,NODECK,LIB, XREF,APOST,MAP'



So if I wrote
Code:
linkage section
aaa-lenth  s9(4) comp
aaa-data   x(100)


in above 3 conditions ,will the data received in aaa-data be the same?

[/code]

1)parm=('aaa','bbb')
pgm receive:aaa,bbb
2)If parm too long to have 2 lines,the fist line end at col80,the second line should begin after the column 16,if before 16 col,it generates jcl error.I'm don't know why,maybe it's a rule.

issac1029,

You need to understand the rules of Continuing JCL Statements more clearly. Check this link which explains in detail about it

Hope this helps...

Cheers
