hi

commonly used jcl statements are grouped together to
form procedures.

Two types of procedures

1) Catalogue procedure
It is a set of jcl statements grouped together given a name and stored as a member of a partitioned data set.

2) Instream procedure
It is a set of jcl statements placed after Job stat and before Exec stat.
it starts with proc and ends with Pend.
Upto 15 instream procedure can be called with a single job.

srinivas,

Please post in the appropriate forum. JCL ques should be posted in the JCL Forum.

An instream procedure can appear before or after its its calling exec stmt.

Thanx, Jack.
