what is the Difference between SYSIN and PARM ?
Answer Posted / muttaiah
Parm: is used to send only 100 chars max
Sysin: we can pass large amount of data. Say even a file.
when passing data from parm, there should be a linkage
section in cobol program.
whereas in case of sysin there should be an accept stmt for
each line in sysin.
Please do correct me if i'm wrong.
