Procedure: set of JCL code used to perform specified
function
2 types
1. Instream and 2. Catalog proc
Instream proc: is the one which is coded with in the JCL
Catlg Prod: Which is coded in a member of a PDS and is
referenced in the JCl through the JCLLIB order stmt.

We can use max of 255 steps in a JCL. Each step can have
only 1 catlg proc. Hence 255 catlg proc can be used in a
JCL.

Answer / rekha

If we want to access the data of a out side member in our
JCL program then we have to go for Catelog Procedure.
In one job we can use up to 255 catelog procedures.

What is the job entry system used in your project? based on what criteria the sequence of jobs are picked if priority is not mentioned in the job card?
