Passing parameters through the loader
Code the PARM parameter as follows:
PARM='[loader-options] [/runtime-options] [/pgmparm]'
where loader-options is
a list of loader options, runtime-options is a list of runtime
options, and pgmparm is a parameter string passed to the
main routine of the application to run. The following examples refer
to the routine parameter as PP. If you specify NOEXECOPS on the main
routine, you must omit the slash in
front of pgmparm.If you specify loader options and either runtime options or a routine parameter (or both) in the PARM parameter, the loader options are given first and are separated from the runtime options or routine parameter by a slash. If there are loader options but no runtime options or routine parameters, the slash is omitted. If there are only runtime options or routine parameters, you must code the slash or slashes. If there is more than one option, separate the option keywords by commas.
The PARM field can have one of the following formats:
- If you use the special characters / or =, you must enclose the
field in single quotes. For example:
PARM='MAP,EP=FIRST/RPTOPTS(ON)/PP' PARM='MAP,EP=FIRST' PARM='//PP'
- If you do not use the / or = characters, and there is more than
one loader option, you must enclose the options in parentheses. For
example:
PARM=(MAP,LET)
- If you do not use the / or = characters, and there is only one
loader option, neither quotes nor parentheses are required. For example:
PARM=MAP
