But you can... just override in JCL the DD you desire!

In PROC you cannot specify JOBLIB,DD *, DD DATA, Delimiters( as /* and //) and EXEC statement referring other PROC(i.e. PROC.... EXEC PROC2)
But you can do everything you want just override the PROC in a correct way from your JCL!

MGIndaco you say that

But you can do everything you want just override the PROC in a correct way from your JCL!
But i found a document which says that we can call one proc from another proc which negates your statement above.
