It's been a while since I did much heavy COBOL programming but as I
recall I was able to create a COBOL program, execute it with the "RUN
MYPROG;INFO="data_string", and the program would receive the
"data_string" and process it.  The COBOL program would be a stand-alone
executable that accepts a run-time parameter, not a sub-program.  My
problem is I don't recall how to specify within my COBOL program how to
receive the "data_string" from the ;INFO= parameter.  I was sure I was
able to do this, what am I missing?  Any and all help is appreciated.
