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
