JCL EXEC PARM data in C

Grant Goodale · Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2023 1:21 am

I am using the argc|argv variables to extract the EXEC PARM field data. However, it seems that C is doing some (unwanted) parsing. I code:

('OPT Key1(val1,val2) Key2(val3)')

and I get:

argc=4
argv=OPT
argv=Key1(val1,val2)
argv=Key2(val3)

Is anyone aware of (a) any way to stop the parsing, (b) any method another than argc|argv or (c) any way of letting spaces through?

TIA

Google bless you:

ARGPARSE | NOARGPARSE (C only)

It takes faster to use Google, rather than posting topics to the forum.

Thanks. I was googling on EXEC PARM, not parse! Doh!
