The last post mentioned CBLOPTS which does determine whether or not the "user data" should come before or after the "/". However, there is another interesting (and new to me) comment at:
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ceea5160/2.2.2.8. 1 In the case of PARM='/JFIPJFIA' according to that reference, it would ALWAYS (regardless of CBLOPTS setting) be treated as program data - as "JFIPJFIA" is not valid as LE run-time informaiton. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... > PARM='/JFIPJFIA' would pass JFIPJFIA to the LE runtime. > > Thanks, > > > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Of Imbriale, Donald (Exchange) > Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2005 5:49 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: Passing PARM to COBOL. > > If your LE run-time option CBLOPTS is OFF, then the format of the parm > should be 'run-time/user-data'.
