I'd like to have a bat file that runs a simple batch program but the program accepts parameters at run time from the bat file. Please forgive me but in what I'm used to, some JCL could be written with the following:

run prog1
Y
N
end job

PROG1 starts, it sends a display/accept for parm 1 and gets back a 'Y' and then sends a display/accept for parm 2 and gets back an 'N'.

If the bat file contains the following, how do you get PROG1 to accept the run parameters. Adding the 2 parms under the bat file statement won't work. Can the run statement include something like "accept Y,N at start"

    Display statements are really not a good idea for true batch jobs. With Extend a display statement tries to create a window on the terminal / console and in the case of a batch job you do not want this to occur.

    Have the program accept values from environment variables and then set the environment variables in your batch script.

    @echo off
    set my-var=my-val
    wrun32.exe Program1

    You can adding pathing to this example, name it as a xxx.bat file and then lauch it from a command window.

    How does program1 get the value that's been 'set'
