How do you pass incentives from JCL to COBOL?

1.	How do you pass incentives from JCL to COBOL?
Answer» This can be done by making use of the RETURN-CODE keyword which can be used for PASSING information to the JCL from the COBOL program. We can use it for identifying the outcome of any OPERATION. Generally, the program ACTIVITY returns 0,4,8 or 12 in cases of success or IRREGULARITIES. We can change it by making use of this keyword which also ensures that the information is passed from COBOL to JCL.
