HI All,
I have a batch job where in step 1 i am executing a Cobol pgm1 and in step 2 I am executing Cobol PGM2. Is there a way that we can pass parameter between these PGMs without any intermidiate files? Or any method thru which both the PGMs can talk.
Thanks. |

No, you need to use intermediate files.
Also, this has been discussed many times before amd there is a search facility on the forum. |

This implies two-way communication. Since the first step runs to completion before the second step starts, how could the two programs interact? |
