hi Superk

by mentioning like this

//JS1 EXEC PROC1,COND.STP11=ONLY,COND.STP12=ONLY

we are refering to a step theat is not at all used in the JCL,
Can we refer to a step that's not at all mentioned in the JCL

Thanks
Siva

Sorry, I neglected to notice that the original post referred to instream procedures. I have modified my response.
