A statement about PROCs is " In PROCs, Symbolic Parameters can be assigned on PROC and EXEC&q..

Answer / kalone

Hi,

It shud be on the Proc's Exec.See the below example :

//S1 EXEC PROC1,TYPE=P,CC=IN

Inside the PROC1

//PROC1 PROC
//P1 EXEC PGM=prog-name
//STEPLIB ....
//filename DD DSN=&&TYPE.&&CC

So , the Symbolic parameter TYPE and CC will be replaced by
P and IN
