REXX – SEND MULTIPLE ARGUMENTS THROUGH JCL

When you are running your REXX EXEC through BATCH, you can send multiple arguments through PARM. But if your arguments length exceeds 100 bytes, you cannot pass it through PARM. You can make use of below JCL to do the same where you pass your Arguments in the SYSTSIN DD name.

//STEP02 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSPROC DD DSN=YOUR.REXX.EXEC,DISP=SHR
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSTSIN DD *
READFILE –
YOUR.INPUT.FILE5 –
YOUR.INPUT.FILE6
/*

Where READFILE is your EXEC and you can use below ARG command to get the above data into variables.

/** REXX **/
CLRSCRN
ARG FILE1 FILE2
Where FILE1 will hold YOUR.INPUT.FILE5 and FILE2 will hold YOUR.INPUT.FILE6.
