Hi,
I have a jcl that executes a proc present in a pds library.
the format of proc execution in my jcl is

//jcllib order dsn=(qual.proclib.pds)
//step01 exec proc1

The proc is defined in "qual.proclib.pds" as member proc1.
But in qual.proclib.pds(proc1), the code is as follows.

//proc2 proc
//...(jcl statements)

but this is getting correctly executed. Proc2 is expanded correctly after the statement "//step01 exec proc1" in Job.
During execution, is that the pds member name considered as proc name?
No correspondence is required between the proc definition(in procedure library) and proc call in jcl(Exec proc statement)?
Please clarify.
Thanks,
anitha.

it is not like load modules and entry statements.

it is member name, regardless of what is in the member.

The "//proc1" is for us humans. "//proc2" is a mistake or someones idea of a dirty trick. Smile

It's nice when the name of the PROC matches the PDS member name, but unfortunately that is not necessary as already pointed out.
