Hi
How do we pass a hexadecimal value through a JCL PARM to cobol module ?
I tried something like
//GO EXEC PGM=RANDOM1,PARM=X'00220A'
But its giving JCL error as
IEFC629I INCORRECT USE OF APOSTROPHE ON THE EXEC STATEMENT |

If using ISPF EDIT, you can 'HEX ON' to enter the value for the PARM on the hex data lines within single quotes.

// PARM=' '

| If you use Bill's suggestion, it would be nice to include a comment to the effect of "parm consists of a hex value" or something similar to warn others. |

Hello,
Something that would be easily maintainable would be to simply put the value in the parm and then change it to the corresponding hex value in code. . .
If this is a one-time requirement i'd use the hex-on edit, but if it was to be changed and run regularly, i'd do this in code. fwiw  |
