You can pass data from cobol to jcl by setting the value in RETURN register and fetching it in JCL.example, if file is empty, you can set return code by MOVE 22 to RETURN-CODEin JCL for that step executing the program you can define a COND parameter to handle that return code. Try it.

PARM is used to pass data from JCL to COBOL
we can pass max of 100 bytes
first 2 bytes are reserved to length
thus we can pass only 98 bytes of data
