Answer / ravinder dudimatla

PARM is also one of the way to pass the values/data to the propgram and the maximum amount of data which we can send to the program using the PARM Parameter is 100 characters we will declare PARM under linkage section as below:
01 PARM-VALUE.
05 PARM-LENGTH PIC S(9)4 COMP.
05 PARM-TEXT PIC X(100).

PARM-BUFFER is for lenght of the parm value passed thrugh the PARM and PARM-TEXT will have the input data passed through the PARM.
