Answer / ravindran
The dataset with single & is called Symbolic parameter. The
dataset with double && is called temporary dataset.
The Symbolic parameter gets the value from PROC. The
temporary datasets are created in the job flow and gets
deleted at the end of the job.

own values to a paramaeters(specified as ¶mname in
