Answer / joseph louis pargas
By convention, general purpose register 1 will have the
address of the parameter list. The list will be a list of
pointers (addresses) to individual parameters. The CALL
macro does this, but you can bypass the CALL macro and be
creative on how you set up the parameter list. Don't forget
the parameter must be on a fullword boundary.

- JCL PARM
//SAMPPROG EXEC PGM=XXXXXXXX,PARM='XXXXXXXX......'
CONTAINS A PARM FIELD WITH UP TO 100 BYTES OF DATA IN IT.
THE PROGRAM BY DESIGN PICKUPS UP A POINTER TO THE DATA AND
THE DATA LEN. REG 1 HAS WHAT YOU NEED TO EXTRAPOLATE ALL OF
THIS.
- PASS DATA TO CALLED PROGRAM
IN THIS CASE, CALLER IS AN ALC PROGRAM PASSING 2 FIELDS TO
SUBROUTINE NAMED SUBROUT1. THE PASSED FIELDS WILL HAVE BEEN
PRIMED PRIOR TO THE "CALL"
CALL SUBROUT1(FIELDA,FIELDB)

Answer / guest
Calling programs are used to pass the parameters to pass
the value. usually R1 is the parameter address which is
used between the programs.
