I have an requirement to write a COBOL program to take input from SYSIN which has variable no of inputs.

I am providing two scenarios. The Program needs to handle both the Scenarios.

Scenario -1

//Step01 Exec PGM=TESTPGM
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
PARM1
PARM2
PARM3
/*

Scenario -2

//Step01 Exec PGM=TESTPGM
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
.
.
//SYSIN DD *
PARM1
PARM2
PARM3
PARM4
PARM5
/*

means we don't know the no of inputs in SYSIN. But the Program has to execute for any no. of inputs passed through SYSIN
