What is the difference between a symbolic and an override in
executing a PROC?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / guest
A symbolic is a PROC placeholder; the value for the symbolic
is supplied when the PROC is invoked, eg. &symbol=value. An
override replaces the PROC's statement with another one; it
substitutes for the entire statement.

overriding parameter:
In the overriding parameter we can override the existing
statements by dd statements after giving the data set name.
symbolic parameter:
In the symbolic parameter we can override the parameter by

ASSIGN PROC SIVA=SHR.

DISP=&SIVA.
