Answer / kranthi kumar m
parm is a activity level parameter,it i used to pass maximum
100 characters of data from jcl to cobol program,and it is
mainly used when we want to pass date n time..... if we want
to pass large volumes of data we dn't use pam parameter
instead of it we use 'sysin dd*'

May be by using IEBGENER. It's a bit urgent. So anyone's fast rely would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance.. 10 flat files ----------------------------------- FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE1 FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE2 FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE3 ; ; FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE10 TO GDG versions ----------------------- FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0001V00 FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0002V00 FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0003V00 ; ; FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0010V00

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
Mention the types of job control statements?
what sort card you will use to copy the data from one dataset to another dataset?
