Passing Parameters when Loading and Executing Load Modules

To load and execute the load module in a partitioned data set and pass it parameters, specify the parameters enclosed in single quotation marks following the data set name.

For example, to pass PRANCE as a parameter to the load module in member UDOIT of data set DLW.LOAD, enter:

CALL DLW(UDOIT) 'PRANCE'

In the previous example, the CALL command translates the parameter list to uppercase characters. The ASIS operand of the CALL command prevents translation to uppercase. Use the ASIS operand to pass lowercase data to programs that accept lowercase characters in the parameter list.

For example, to pass LeaveAsis as a parameter to the load module in member NOTRANS of data set DLW.LOAD, enter:

CALL DLW(NOTRANS) 'LeaveAsis' ASIS
