executed sucessfully.
my job steps:
//PROCLIB JCLLIB ORDER=PROGMR.SIVANAIR.JCLLIB
//JOBLIB DD DSN=UAUT.NDVR.PGMLOAD,DISP=SHR
//STEP001 EXEC AUT001

first proc steps:
//AUT001 PROC
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=AUT0EMP,COND=(0,LE)
//EMPLOY1 DD DSN=PROGMR.SBPD.EMP.DATA.SAMPLE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*

Answer / kingmanish

First of all what is a PROC.

Its just a set of reusable JCL statements.

Now calling PROC within a PROC will defeat the concept of
PROCs itself.

So if we call a PROC within a PROC it would work and we can
do that.
But that is not a good practice.

Answer / nikhil
