How to specify parameters for your program (z/OS Batch)

To pass parameters to your program, include them in the PARM= option on the EXEC ASMIDF statement.

stepname: The name of the job step.
module-name: The name of the module to be debugged.
luname: The VTAM LU name of the terminal used to debug this module.
idf-options: Options to be passed to IDF.
module-parameters: Parameters to be passed to your module. These are passed to the program by IDF in standard z/OS EXEC PGM style. That is, R1 points to a word that points to a halfword length field that is followed by the parameter string itself.
