Procedure library
ABC.XYZ.PROCLIB(PROC1)
//PROCA PROC
....
....
Job Library
ABC.XYZ.JOBLIB(JOBA)
//STEP01 EXEC PROCA
.....
.....
When JOBA is run it will Fail with
JCL error saying :Procedure PROCA not found
It is Compulsion that Member name of Procedure should have
Same name as the Procname.So When PROC1 is Changed to
PROCA .. Job will run fine

Answer / sj@iy
In this case the job will fail because there is no member
by the name PROCA in the library.
However, there is no compulsion that the name with which
the proc is saved(member name) and the name inside the proc
(procname) needs to match In the sense, in the above case,
if proc is saved as PROCA and inside PROCA the procname
is //PROC1...there will be no issues while making a call as
given by the JCL (i.e. //STEP01 EXEC PROCA)
To conclude, a search is done based on member name and not
based on proc name.
