Reply with quote

I'm a bit puzzled how this works because the override syntax here is wrong compared to what I'm used to having to use. Here is an example of an expansion of the EXEC as 1st step of this proc:

Code:

XXABC460 EXEC PGM=ABC460,PARM='AFS', <=== hard-coded
XX COND=(0,LT)

Here is the example of a call for the PROC using a different PARM:

Code:

//ABC460G EXEC PROC=ABC460,PARM='IFA'

Somehow, and I don't know how, the 'IFA' gets to PGM ABC460.
My coding would have been:

Code:

//ABC460G EXEC PROC=ABC460,PARM.ABC460='IFA'

Can anyone enlighten please ?? My only guess is that somehow z/OS now associates the 1st PARM override to the 1st EXEC step.
