For Override a proc, syntax is
Stepname.Ddname

For exapmle in a jcl proc is called as
//STEP1 EXEC=PROC1
and PROC1 contains a dd statement
//DD1 DSN=ESDSKXD.REXX.DATA,DISP=SHR

For overriding the DD1 of PROC1, syntax would be:
//STEP1.DD1 DSN=ESDSKXD.REXX.DATA,DISP=SHR

Answer / heman

Amra, giving a new library in JCLLIB is however possible.
My understanding of the question asked and my query too is,
whether we can provide an JCL override to the called PROC
in a PROC. Please advise if you have solution. Thanks.

Answer / abhilash

What you want to override in a PROC?

Lets take an example

//STEPA EXEC DEBASIS

inside the PROC DEBASIS we have

//STEPA001 EXEX .......,TIME=10
//DD01 DD .......

If you want to override a Step inside the PROC,
In JCL
//STEPA EXEC DEBASIS,TIME.STEPA001=20


If you want to override a DD statement
In JCL
//STEPA EXEC DEBASIS
//STEPA001.DD01 DD parameter=value

Answer / amra

In



To use a different PROC, you use a different library in the
JCLLIB. Your test PROC can be saved there with the same
name.

@kalpana: it is not possible to override the procedure. What
is the need of overriding the entire procedure?. you can
override only the dd statements in the procedures.

Answer / heman

I cannot totally agree with Dwivedi. But, to the question
whether we can override a PROC, still it is a question to
me. I haven't faced any such examples in my 4 years tenure.
