| Is it possible to code more than 100 byte in PARM parameter and we can avoid JCL error? |

Yes i have tried and seen the result but there are few topics in the forum describing that it is possible.so was just wondering and inquisitive.
Instead of opening the old thread thought of starting it all over again. |

| Usually the answer is passing the data via a dataset rather than PARM |

Hi

JCL is giving an error, coz parm cannot go beyond 100 bytes.
In that case you can have it in SYSIN DD statement(or any other) and read it in your program.

The JCL Language Reference manual, link at the top of the page, states about the PARM= on the EXEC:
| Quote: |
Length: The length of the subparameters passed must not exceed 100
characters:
° Including any commas, which are passed to the processing program.
° Excluding any enclosing parentheses or apostrophes, which are not
passed. |
Your quoted post is not using JCL PARM= to pass data so you can pretty much pass whatever you want. If you use JCL PARM= you are limited to 100 characters, period. |
