Trying to overide a step.ddname of proc, without having it

Hi, in my job, I have coded, a proc called BFQSED, in this proc we have many exec statements. In one of the exec statement called BF094,I am overriding the dd statement called ABNDOVRD. for that purpose, I am giving in my jcl as BF094.ABNDOVRD DD DSN=X.Y.Z,, But in the BFQSED proc of the step BF094, there is no ddname with ABNDOVRD. Is it possible to override in the proc with out having the actual ddname in the step of the proc?

Thanks!
RAt.
