I keep telling the users around here, 'I gave you exactly what you asked
for', I guess maybe sometimes I misunderstand them.
So you need to set COBOL Switches, but from more of a operational point
of view, no programming.
:PRINT COBSWTS
Setvar sw0 32768
Setvar sw1 16384
Setvar sw2 8192
Setvar sw3 4096
Setvar sw4 2048
Setvar sw5 1024
Setvar sw6 512
Setvar sw7 256
Setvar sw8 128
Setvar sw9 64
Setvar sw10 32
Setvar sw11 16
Setvar sw12 8
Setvar sw13 4
Setvar sw14 2
Setvar sw15 1
<< Add/Xeq the COBSWTS command file into/in you job/session.>>
As an example lets say you wanted to run with switch 1 and 2 on, and
the rest off.
:XEQ COBSWTS
:RUN ASDASD;PARM=![SW1 + SW2]
This would equate to: RUN ASDASD;PARM=24576
You could actually give these variables real names, for documentation
purposes only.
NO PROGRAMMING.

Thanks to all who replied. I probably should have included more info,
and
in specific, the fact that I didn't want to recompile, or add code, I
just
needed a quick (and reliable) method to figure out what parm value to
set
when a program blows up at 3:30 am, and the restart requires 1 (or up
to 3)
of 5 COBOL run time switches to be set. Of course, what the run time
switch values needed to be for the restart could/should have been
documented
in both the JCL and the program, but that's yet another thread. :-)
