Hi, I've done this before but can't get it to work now. I'm trying to pass an EXEC PARM field to a batch COBOL program. I have the following:
LINKAGE SECTION. 01 LS-PARM. 05 LS-PARM-DATA-LENGTH PIC 9(04) BINARY. 05 LS-PARM-DATA PIC X(100). PROCEDURE DIVISION USING LS-PARM. DISPLAY ' ParmLen: ' LS-PARM-DATA-LENGTH. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=JDCXXXX,REGION=4M,PARM='JFIPJFIA' The parm length always displays as 1036 ( x'040C') and ls-parm-data is also garbage. Guess I'm too tired to see what I'm missing. Thanks, Craig ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
