For a regular batch program, yes. Unfortunately most of our programs are IMS, and as far as I know you cannot pass PARM data down to the application program.

For those who don't know IMS, this is how an IMS batch program is executed:

//STEP01    EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,
//             PARM=(DLI,DDADMP,DDMPPSB)

I may be confusing this program with a different program but I have the impression that it allows you to pass a parm to the application program by adding "/passed-parm" to the parm field:

//STEP01    EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,
//             PARM=(DLI,DDADMP,DDMPPSB/XXXXXXXX)
