Instream data is anything which we want to give as input to the JCL. It doesn't start with double slash(//) as it is not part of JCL. e.g//SYSIN DD * INSTREAM DATA /*End of instream data is denoted by delimeter ie /* Thanks

INSTREAM data means providing data to the JCL program other than keeping data in separate data set.

INSTREAM data means providing inputs to the JCL program than providing data in separate data set. Doesnt start with identifiers and is between delimiters.
 
syntax:

           //SYSIN DD *
           XYZ
           ABC
          /*
         //
    OR
         // SYSIN DD DATA , DLM = **
                 XYZ
                 ABC
         **
 CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG .

We need to use ACCEPT keyword in the COBOL program to read the instream data.

In-stream data in JCL: which come under SYSIN DD * AND /*
//SYSIN DD *
HI
/*
HI will be in stream data.
