Hi Frank, Back in the 1980s I was asked to produce a routine to allow the passing of EXEC PARM information to IMS programs, to eliminate the use of a parameter card file.
The only real issue was the DFSRRC00 like to be the TOP RB on the chain, so the solution was to write two small Assembler front programs. The first was a front end to DFSRRCO0, which took the parm information and split it so that DFSRRC00 only got its bit. The User bit of the parm was stored in the second program which was simply a holding area. The DFSRRC00 from end issued XCTL to get to DFSRRC00 proper after the split, and the User Program (COBOL) ewas invoked as normal. It called the second routine holding the 'parm information' via a dynamic link. I still have all the code.
