How do you pass parameters to the program as the job is being executed ?..

Answer / guest

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.

In all our JOB Statement we have always COND=(4,LT) defined. Nevertheless when a Job failed the last step should then be executed (send a message to an user). Due to we don't like to change all our JOB's (ca. 2000), we are looking for a simply solution.
