Hi Lindy, You asked "How do I code the PARM= in JCL such that each parm gets its own address?"
Unfortunately the PARM field as supplied via JCL, does not work in a similar way to parameters passed from one program to another. >From a JCL perspective the PARM field is always considered a single entity of up to 100 characters, and hence has a single pointer. It is just the way the system is designed. A possible quick method of segmenting the PARM field in the way you require with each element between commas being treated as a separate entity would be to front end the program on the EXEC statement with a REXX routine, which PARSEs the JCL PARM, and uses LINKPGM or some such to invoke the original program.
