if we have a job consist of two steps and each step calling
a proc having 10 steps each then how many steps are counted
only 2 or 22(10+10+1+1)? can we have more than 255 steps in
a single job?

if we want to code more than 255 exec the split the jcl to
two and immediate after completion of one check the return
code and intialize to second one .in this way we can
perform.
i think
