Hi,

I have an ISPF panel which can submit a JCL,but im not able to pass a parm to the JCL.Here's my ISPF panel..

&ZSEL = TRANS( TRUNC (&ZCMD,'.')
1,'CMD(SUB ''MY.JCL.DATASET'')'
2,'PANEL(CONFIRM) ADDPOP'
3,'CMD(%COLOR)'
' ',' '
*,'?' )

The JCL gets submitted whenever the user chooses option 1 from the panel.However i need to pass a parm to the JCL.Can someone help me out?

As far as I know, there is no way to pass data parameters using the TSO command SUBMIT (and your panel actually issues the TSO command SUBMIT).

write a small ISPF application which :

displays a panel asking for the parameters

uses the ISPF skel processing feature to customize the JCL

submits the customized JCL
