Answer / divya
R1 contains a fullword that contains a address pointing to
tyhe parm data. In pgm before accessing the parm data use L
Rn,0(,R1) where n=3,..11 , Rn contains the address that
points to parm data. Create DSECT that contains a halfword
and the length of the data.

Using the PARM= keyword on the EXEC PGM statement in the
JCL. The parameters can be accessed in the program as
explained in Answer #1.

Answer / phils
If you include a parameter string/Dataset in the JCL SYSIN
DD statement then this can be retrieved by an assembler
program via code such as...
OPEN SYSIN
GET SYSIN,WS_PARAM
CLOSE SYSIN
Obviously if there are multiple parameters defined then the
get statement would be in a loop and the contents would have
to be stored in separate working storage fields

In the house keeping section of an MVS assembly language program, like the one below STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 USING *,R12,R11 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) .... .... 1. What if BASR R12,R0 IS NOT PRECEDE USING *,R12,R11? 2. USING (base address), REGISTER does USING directive says assembler to treat particular Register as a base register with the mentioned base address..in the above case * i.e current location counter..well if that is the case why we need BASR R12,R0 ? 3. What if I write like STM R14,R12,12(R13) BASR R12,R0 LA R11,2048 LA R11,2048(R11,R12) USING *,R12,R11 there is no address resolution being calculated in both LA statements so is it a right way to set Base register?..will there be any issues with Domain regarding R11 and R12?
