Yes, you can do that through PARM parameter in JCL on EXEC step.

hi,

yes we can give input to cobol program at run time,

use accept statment in cobol program and after compiling the code,

in the run jcl part u can give values in

// sysin dd *

values(r)

/*

//

this way

regards

We can give input to COBOL program in two ways

a) By using PARM parameter

b) By using Instream data

By using PARM parameter:

In JCL

//Stepname EXEC PGM=Programname, PARM=values

By using Instream data:

If it is Non-DB2 program

//SYSIN

The key is at "run-time", not BEFORE RUN. The point is can we provide/modify input date when program already started to run?

I suppose you could set the program to poll an input file. The difficulty you'd have is that while it isn't polling, it's probably looping. That's a good way to get your program swapped out or cancelled.What it sounds like you need is a started task program that remains running and processes input dynamically. If this is what you need, we're talking a whole different program structure than JCL kicking off a COBOL job.

Using CICS online panels . you can. if it is cobol-CICS
