You will probably have to write code for this. Nothing I know of from IBM will take a PARM value and make it available to the invoked program to write with.
Rexx is your friend for this, very simple to achieve using IRXJCL to execute it.

I have a teammate working on a z/OS 1.12 system and is trying to make a proc fairly foolproof for his user. He wants to know the easiest way to convert a SET statement or JCL Parm into a control card. This proc needs a DSN and a couple other values as part of a SYSIN for the program, and since we can't use symbolics in pre-z/OS 2.1, I would like a way using standard IBM utilities to take a PARM symbolic and create an output file that I can use as input to the program. The parm input would only be one line, and not longer than 50 chars. Does anyone have any good ideas? Sort? Gener?
