IN-STREAM DATA NOT ALLOWED IN PROC how can come out from this problem..

Answer / cj

Instream data cannot be given in catalogued procedures.
They can be coded in main jcl or instream procedures only.

So code a catalogued proc named PROC1 as given in eg. below:

//PROC1 PROC
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=progname (prog. that needs instream data)
//DATA1 DD DDNAME=SYSIN,DCB=(BLKSIZE=80,BUFNO=3)

In main JCL, execute this catalogued procedure, but
override the ddname DATA1 with your instream data. Code as
given in eg. below:

//STEPA EXEC PROC1
//DATA1.SYSIN DD *
{lines of data}
/*

I hope this helps.

Answer / vijay k

In the proc you have to code like this. Keep the INSTREAM
data in the parm card.

In the proc.

//sysin dd dsn= xyz.file(sortcpy),disp=shr

In the parm card, sortcpy should be like this.

sort fields=copy
