What are you attempting to do? In general, values are passed via PARM= statements from JCL to programs. Going the other way usually requires a separate job to be submitted since a job stream, once it has been through the JES converter / interpreter, is fixed and cannot be changed by anything.

the concept has been told and repeated gazillions times

the only thing You can pass back to <JCL> is a numeric return code!

look at the COBOL manuals for the use of the RETURN-CODE special register

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort
