Answer / guest
PROC stands for procedure. It is 'canned' JCL invoked by a
PROC statement. An instream PROC is presented within the
JCL; a catalogued PROC is referenced from a proclib
partitioned dataset.

Answer / sudheer
Proc is a set of JCL statements, which will be used to
execute the job steps. There are two types of procs
1. Instream
2. Catalog
Instream procedures are defined within a job and executed
within a job. To terminate Instream procedure we use PEND
keyword.
Catalgo Procedures are defined outside of the job as a
member of PDS and executed outside of the job. In this
there will be no PEND statement required
