    <%  
        for(i=1;i<=60;i++)
        {
            %><option><%out.print(i);%></option><%
        }
    %>
        </select></td>
</tr>
<tr>

    <td   width=100px>Enter System ID </td>
    <td><input type=text name=lab name="sysId" value="Sys. Id" size=10></td>

<tr>
    <td><hr><b</td>
    <td><hr></td>

<tr>
    <td align=center class="cells"  width=100px><input type="submit" name=submit value=ADD hight=10px width=20px onclick="move();"></td>
    <td align=center class="cells"  width=10px ><input type=button name=submit value=cancel>

 <%
                String id=request.getParameter("sysId");
                out.print(id);
  %>

I don't see <form> element in your code. You should surround your table with <form> and change your action to POST.

Change your form action to POST. I've also noticed that you have onclick=move() in your submit. Please remove it. – Valchev Oct 17 '13 at 06:18

In the form you have used name attribute twice that why you are getting null in second.jsp

<input type=text name=lab name="sysId" value="Sys. Id" size=10>   
                 ↑        ↑

Use one name attribute as

<input type=text name="sysId" value="This is sysId" size=10>

Then in second.jsp

String id=request.getParameter("sysId");  //make sure you type correct name here
out.print(id);

It will print : This is sysId

I recommend not to use Scriptlets

<select name="location">
    <option>--select location--</option>
<%  
    for(i=1;i<=60;i++)
    {
        %><option><%out.print(i);%></option><%
    }
%>
    </select>

You can modify the code as

<select name="location">
    <option>--select location--</option>
    <c:forEach varStatus="i" begin="1" end="60">
    <option>${i.count}</option>
    </c:forEach>
</select>

It is called JSTL just put jstl-1.2.jar in /WEB-INF/lib
