I have found the below example for executing a batch job in TSO
www.ibmmainframes.com/about12597.html

In the above example the IDCAMS program is directly called from SYS1.LINKLIB.

Can I execute any program by specifying its load and member?

If yes, How do I pass the PARM with TSO call 'program'. can someone let me know if there is a sysntax for passing values to a program executed through TSO CALL.

I will be very thankful, if someone can post the useful manual links.

1.10.2 CALL Command Syntax.

Didn't typing TSO HELP CALL give you what you need?

Look at help for ALLOC command and search for DUMMY.
