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

Answer Posted / 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.
