Re: Passing data structure to batch job

(Extra points to a response that say's "it's easy") Thanks.

If easy enough to do as "normally" to build the command string, then the following should be almost as easy:

Use the expression 'X''' CONCAT HEX(:DS) CONCAT '''' as the data for the parameter [within PARM()] in the CALL command string that is built. If there is some restriction on use of :DS, then define a based character variable for the length of the DS, thn use that :variable after setting the basing pointer to the address of the DS variable.
