Hello Suja Gowda and welcome to the forums,

Quote:

The following will pass a parm (that controls an sftp execution) to the BXPBATCH module:
Code:
//STEPNAME EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,
// PARM='sh sftp -b sftp-batch userid@some~place.com '
You would also need to include any other BXPBATCH jcl needed for your process.

Quote:
how the input parameters will be linked in the Java program
If the java is like a UNIX sftp execution, there is no "linking". . . The "parm(s)" to sftp simply follow on the embedded execute.

If the first part of your request is not about passing a parm to BXPBATCH, please clarify.

I would say that the question is not really jcl or BPXBATCH related
BPXBATCH is just a wrapper to acticate a USS shell that in turn invokes something else...
a shell command or a USS program

so at the end the issue comes back on how to pass to a java program some parameters

so after all, not really a jcl issue, but simply a java issue
I would suggest that the best source of knowledge is the java doc

there is something called STDPARM which is used as
//STDPARM DD PATH='/u/turbo/abc.parms',PATHOPTS=ORDONLY

it says tat the parameter data resides in the z/OS UNIX file /u/turbo/abc.parms.

So in my case i have to pass the dates to this unix file and then access those dates in my java-db2 program by reading this file.

Is there any other way to access the dates thru a variable in the java -db2 program rather than opening the file and reading from it(similar to the linkage section available in cobol)
Kindly help me in this regard...
