pl/1 program?

If your run jcl is passing values to your PL/1 variables ,say NAME,AGE,RANK and REMARKS,then the input for getdata is like...
NAME='ARUN', AGE=5, RANK=1, REMARKS='VERY GOOD';
Let us know,if you are looking for more.

Your pgm should end with END HAI; and the run jcl should end with /*. Try giving blank space after comma in the input stream(I have used 'b' to indicate blank)....AGE=23,bNAME='VENKATESH',bRANK='1';
Hope this helps. PL/I manual is available in this website. Reference book is Joan K Hughes.
