Accessing Command Line Parameters

You can access program parameters in a number of ways. For example, you can use one of the following formats of the ACCEPT statement:

accept data-name from command-line 

or

accept data-name from mnemonic-name

where the parameters are:

data-name The data item to receive the command line parameters.
mnemonic-name Defined in the Special-Names paragraph as:
command-line is mnemonic-name
