Hi,
INSTREAM procedure is a set of DD and EXEC statements which can be referred more than once in the same JCL.

NOTE: INSTREAM procedure must be defined starting with PROC statement and ending with PEND statement before using it in the EXEC statement.
It is better to define it at the begining of the JCL or just after the JOB statement.
Cheers...
