No. You have to find a way to imbed the value in the Focus code (SYSIN), or in a dataseet (where your Focus code can access is via Table or -READ).

Your installation may have a utility that transcribes its parameters to card images in a dataset. If so, you can set that up as a prior jobstep, and pass the 'card deck' dataset into the Focus step.

//FOCUS EXEC PGM=FOCUS
//STEPLIB DD DSN=FOCUS.FOCLIB.LOAD,DISP=SHR
//ERRORS DD DSN=FOCUS.ERRORS.DATA,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//OFFLINE DD SYSOUT=A
//MASTER DD DSN=MASTER.DATA,DISP=SHR
//FOCEXEC DD DSN=FOCEXEC.DATA,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
EX fexname MYPARM='ABCDXYZ'
FIN
//*

That's a very basic example, Obviously your JCL for actually calling Focus will be
very different
