hi,

can we declare a proc inside a proc.....if so how to override the parameters declared in the inner proc and how to override the parameters declared in the outer proc.......how to qualify each and every variable if it exists in both the procs.........?

Thanks in advance.

yes u can write proc inside the proc..upto 15 levels

To override the innermost proc parameter
stepname1.procstep1.procstep2

where stepname = ur step invoking primary ( main ) proc in jcl
procstep1 = stepname in ur primary or outermost proc which invokes inner proc
Procstep2 = stepname of innermost proc whose parameter is to be overriden
I think this should work...correct anybody if i am wrong!

All the details you need to know about are described here in the z/OS V1R7.0 MVS JCL Reference.
