instream data in a proc

Post by kvenkat_b4u » Sat Apr 22, 2006 3:31 pm

hi vidya,

if it is instream procedure u are not able to use
//sysin dd *
value1,value2.....valueN
/*

instead use below
//sysin dd dsn=partitioned data set,disp=shr or
//sysin dd dsn=pds(member),disp=shr

if it is a catalog proc,we can can use

//sysin dd *
value1 value2 ......valueN
/*

thanks,
kvenkat_b4u@yahoo.com

You cannot use instream data inside a PROC. It is a rule. Instead, you code some dummy statement inside the PROC and override the particular step's DD statement from the JCL before you execute it.

HTH.
