How can data be passed to a dynamically called module without using Linkage Section?

Linkage Section in the called module or the calling module? I'm thinking it will have to be in one or the other....

linkage section in the calling module... i.e. How can data be passed to a dynamically called module without using linkage section in the calling module?

Forgive me if I'm confused, but isn't that the normal way? CALL sub using WS-item? No linkage required.

Use PL/1, there's no linkage section there. Just passing of addresses via pointers. But that's probably not what is meant.

You can use CALL using WS-AREA...by using this you can pass the data for your sub program..

Syantax: CALL <Sub-program Name) using WS-AREA

Hello,

When you code "CALL modname USING parmlist", you need no linkage section in the calling module. You will use a linkage section in the called module.
