This is my Scenario
STEP1 EXEC Program-1
Program-1 Calls Program-1A
Value-A gets Populated in Program-1A
STEP2 EXEC Program1
Program-1 Calls Program-1B
I need Value-A here in Prgram-1B
I don't want any Files to be used.
Is it Possible? If So how?
Thanks,
Prabhu

Sure, display Value-A to the operator and ask him/her to enter it back in when the next step asks for it..... |

Why do you think your shop has lots of little boxes called DASD
Or even those much bigger boxes called tape libraries.
But I suppose that you could really impress your teacher by asking if "Batch Pipes" were a valid method of doing this. But that's a pay for solution. |

| Actually, I made a slight error above, batch pipes can be used to feed information from one program to another, if that is running in parallel rather than series. |

Your scenario is quite confusing...
I suppose from Your wording that the entity "program-1" is the same "thing"... in both steps
so... get rid of the two steps ,
have "program-1" call/link/doanythingYoulike program-1a
get back the data You need
have "program-1" call/link/doanythingYoulike program-1b passing to it the info You got from the previous call
in two steps what You want cannot be done |

I think i cannot use MQ as the amount of data i need to pass is quite large. |

I still do not understand Your stubbornness
is there a business reason for it...
IMWLTK ( inquiring minds would like to know )
a sequential file/dataset is the simplest and only solution
more complex alternatives would be
- MQ messaging
- DB2 table
- persistent data space
otherwise ......
just tell us the answer You would like to receive and we' ll just cut and paste it from Your post into a few replies |

I find that very hard to believe.....
Could you pleas outline you requirement that precludes the use of a "file" to pass information between two steps, so much information that MQSeries won't have enough capacity to handle it.
Please detail beyond that "program-1" "step1" "program-1a" stuff you called your "scenario". Detail the actual requirement that requires the limitations you are specifying. |

I am not stubborn and i just want to know if there is any way to do the same.
I have convinced the business and now i am using a VSAM file.
Thanks for all your inputs.
