Instream data is the Paratmeter we pass through SYSIN
Catalog Procedure does'nt take Instream data
Example
//NEWPROC PROC
//ABCPGM EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INDD1 DD DSN=ABC.XYZ.DSP,DISP=SHR
//OUTDD1 DD DSN=PQR.XYZ.NOP,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO INDD(INDD1) –
OUTDD(OUTDD1)
/*
It will fail

Instead use

//SYSIN DD DSN=ABC.DFG.PARM,DISP=SHR
/*

Put the following in this data set ABC.DFG.PARM
REPRO INDD(INDD1) –
OUTDD(OUTDD1)

It will run fine

Answer / sroul4

We can not!!

Answer / shriram supalwar dharmabad

No we cannot code instream data to procedure.
to overcome this
- code SYSIN DD DUMMY in the proc
- then override this from the JCL with instream data

Answer / callee

Sush, we can't give instream data IN any kind of
procedures. We can give one only when we CALL proc.

Answer / sush

we cwngive instream data in instream procedure.when we call
the procedure

Answer / chowdary

procedure are two types 1) instream and 2) catlog
we can give instream data up to 15 level may be like that
it might be possible,

if any one know correctly please post

Suppose a proc step has a DD statement like //ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE1,DISP=SHR DSN=TEST.FILE2,DISP=SHR and the above DD name is overridden from the JCL as given below //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3 - Will the DD statement now have just TEST.FILE3 or it will be TEST.FILE3 and TEST.FILE2? Suppose if it is overridden twice like //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3 //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE4 Will this give a JCL error? If not, what will be final output?

wht r different types of sort fields in jcl ?

1 Answers   IBM,

If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
