JCL :
//JOB1 JOB (TEST1),
// CLASS=P,
// MSGCLASS=J,
// USER=V676917
//JOB10 EXEC DB2RUN,
// PRM='ABCD'
//

How to PASS ABCD, value from ESP to the JCL?.
When I start excecuting the ESP, ESP has to pass the PARM value 'ABCD' in the JCL(This Job is Scheduled in the ESP).

Oh goody, this looks like a game of 20 questions.

What events or whatever determine the value to be used in PRM=

Also, what is the ESP, is it some scheduling package or what

Yes, it is a Sheduling package.

ESP PROC:
IF %ESPGROUP='SETUP' THEN DO
INVOKE 'CMNPROD.ESP.PROC($STD)'
ENV='PROD'
DBSYS='DB2B'
CL='P'
MCL='J'
R='P'
D='B'
SAR='7'
TAX='P'
AR='P'
ENDDO
/*

We have like this, in similar way I need to map PARM to use in JCL.

Hello,

Suggest you look at how the other substitutions are done in an existing process that works correctly. . .

Then define this one similarly. . .
