Answer Posted / muttaiah
Procedure: set of JCL code used to perform specified
function
2 types
1. Instream and 2. Catalog proc
Instream proc: is the one which is coded with in the JCL
Catlg Prod: Which is coded in a member of a PDS and is
referenced in the JCl through the JCLLIB order stmt.
We can use max of 255 steps in a JCL. Each step can have
only 1 catlg proc. Hence 255 catlg proc can be used in a
JCL.

1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
