Most DD statements define data sets to be used in a job step, in a cataloged procedure step, or in an in-stream procedure step; these appear after the EXEC statement for the step. Some DD statements define data sets for the job, for example, the JOBLIB DD statement; these appear after the JOB statement and before the first EXEC statement.

When Overriding or Adding to Procedures

Place DD statements that override, nullify, or add parameters immediately following the EXEC statement that calls the procedure. Place overriding and nullifying DD statements first, followed by all added DD statements. Last in the calling step are any DD * or DD DATA statements with their in-stream data.

To override more than one DD statement in a procedure, place the overriding DD statements in the same order as the overridden DD statements in the procedure.

Concatenating Data Sets

When data sets are concatenated, the application program can treat them as if they were one logical data set. In general, most of the logical attributes of the first DD statement apply to all of them. You can concatenate input data sets for the duration of a job step. Each of the concatenated data sets can reside on a different volume. For details on concatenating data sets, see z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets. Note that you cannot concatenate output data sets.


unless the TS comes out with some better explanation the topic is going to locked and vaporized

I kept away from this thread, for a while but this thread seems to go no-where; though the subject title sounds pretty premitive. I realize that before I compiled the reply -- I deleted OPs double post, and called upon by someone and posted it later, however by then Enrico had already talked about OUTFIL... icon_redface.gif

But the question still remains, what exactly the OP wants? And if the latest query is a "new-queston", perhaps OP has to post a new thread altogether - too many loose ends to answer something useful...

And Thanks for the pointer to BPX1SLP, BPX4SLP in other thread; I think I'd need it soon.

we are wasting time
see for example the topic
www.ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=59235&highlight=
where the TS asked for something and then disappeared

the TS might fit better here
