By using 'parm' parameter in exec statement. the value
mentioned here should be declared in linkage section in the
program and process thru procedure division. this technique
is very useful when you do not know the parameters at the
time of coding the programs.

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
