Padma,
I see no reference to //PARMIN DD * in relation to IKJEFT01.
Can you please give more information as to where you have run across this? Give code example if you can. Thanks,
Dave |

Hi,
I have come across a Cobol - Db2 Jcl where PARMIN DD * is coded just like SYSIN DD * and passed values thrrough it. I think it is not restricted in using with IKJEFT01 and we can use it in a normal JCL. I would like to know it's coding purpose in detail.
Thanks
padma. |

padma_prakasam,
You'll have to look at the program that the PARMIN is coded. Sounds like it is simply a flat sequential file that the program uses to determine how/what the program is to process.
As am example, in a program that may produce reports for a large store chain of stores sales, the PARMIN may contain a list of store numbers to process.
There is no single simple answer to what the PARMIN file is. The answer is in the program.
