Hi ,

I have a JCL which calls a proc. The last step in that proc calls another proc in which i have a symbolic. Now i want to override that symbolic in my JCL.
//jobcard
...
//step1 exec proc1
//

proc1:
//step11 ...
//step12....
//step13 exec proc13

proc13:
//proc13 exec abc
//dd1 dd dsn=&parm,disp=shr

SO i wanna have a override for "parm" in my jcl.
can you let me know how this can be done?

Thanks & Regards,
kousalya

hi
proc1:
//step11 ...
//step12....
//step13 exec proc13

This is the procedure which calls proc13.

after the step13
give the statement

'proc13.dd1 dd dsn=;ur dsn name''

example :
//PROC1 PROC
//CREAT EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1 DD DSN=dsname1.FIRSTP,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800,RECFM=FB,SPACE=(TRK,(10,20),RLSE)
//MYSTEP EXEC PROC=PROCS
//CREAT.DD1 DD DSN=dsname2.T.SAMS10
// PEND
//*********************************************************************
//PROF SET DSNAME='dsname3.T.SAMS11'
//PROCS PROC
//CREAT EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
//DD1 DD DSN=&DSNAME,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=800,RECFM=FB,SPACE=(TRK,(10,20),RLSE)
// PEND

//MYSTEP1 EXEC PROC=PROC1

in my example procs will workas proc13 in ur program..

Hi kowsalya,
in my example ,
dsname1.FIRSTP, will be created by the proc proc1
and
dsname2.T.SAMS10 will be created by procs.
here
am passing 'dsname3.T.SAMS11' as symbolic parameter.

'dsname3.T.SAMS11' will be override by 'dsname2.T.SAMS10'.
I think this is ur requirement..

if am worng,can u let me know what would be overide by which dataset(explain with my example)
