| You'd be reading these in from a dataset via three READ statements, correct? |

Hello,
You can try using ACCEPT in your cobol program and passing data through SYSIN
| Code: |
In working storage section.
01 A PIC X(80).
01 B PIC X(80).
01 C PIC X(80).
In Procedure divsion
ACCEPT A
ACCEPT B
ACCEPT C
In JCL
//SYSIN DD *
data for A ..till 80
data for B ..till 80
data for C ..till 80
/*

Hi, superk
Well actually ,, i would be doing a fixed process on the input file ... But there are 3 lines of comment that are to be added to the input file at the top ...
And these 3 lines of comment are dynamic .. hence being input from the JCl that runs this COBOL prog ..
i know to pass 10 characters from JCl to COBOl .. through PARM and say SYSIN DD * ..
But now i want to get 3 lines from my JCl .. accept it in my COBOl and then write it to my output file ... |
