Answer / lakshmisudha

maximum unlimited data you can pass within //sysin dd *

if you want pass within line that is depends upon the
creation of ur dataset if lrecl=80 you can pass 72 char
maximum you can define lrecl=150

Answer / muttaiah

I have a doubt here,,
Generally sysin is retrieved through accept stmt from cobol
program.
each accept stmt can read one line of sysin data.

considering this a line can be max of 71 or 72 char's

so i think the length of sysin will be 71 or 72..
