hai. you can use 15 instream procedures in a jcl job.
for your second question on copybook, it is not specific only to CICS alone. we can also use copybooks to include the working storage section variables. This helps in reducing the time of typing the identifiers.
corrections welcomed...........

For the first question I think that it depend on the amount of step that the procedure do.
The limit of exec in a jcl is 255...make your count. |

hai divya. hope that this example helps you. this is the copybook containing the following three variables A, B, C. i can save this in a PDS as a member in some name.
77 A PIC A(20).
77 B PIC X(20).
77 C PIC 9(5).
I've saved this in my PDS as a member say CC.
In all the programs which use this copybook, what i do is, simply i give the COPY statement in the WORKIGN-STORAGE SECTION as follows....
DATA DIVISION.
WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.
COPY CC.
Back ground of operation is the copybook gets expanded during the compilation time...........
corrections welcomed...........
