For Override a proc, syntax is
Stepname.Ddname

For exapmle in a jcl proc is called as
//STEP1 EXEC=PROC1
and PROC1 contains a dd statement
//DD1 DSN=ESDSKXD.REXX.DATA,DISP=SHR

For overriding the DD1 of PROC1, syntax would be:
//STEP1.DD1 DSN=ESDSKXD.REXX.DATA,DISP=SHR

Answer / heman

Amra, giving a new library in JCLLIB is however possible.
My understanding of the question asked and my query too is,
whether we can provide an JCL override to the called PROC
in a PROC. Please advise if you have solution. Thanks.

Answer / abhilash

What you want to override in a PROC?

Lets take an example

//STEPA EXEC DEBASIS

inside the PROC DEBASIS we have

//STEPA001 EXEX .......,TIME=10
//DD01 DD .......

If you want to override a Step inside the PROC,
In JCL
//STEPA EXEC DEBASIS,TIME.STEPA001=20


If you want to override a DD statement
In JCL
//STEPA EXEC DEBASIS
//STEPA001.DD01 DD parameter=value

Answer / amra

In



To use a different PROC, you use a different library in the
JCLLIB. Your test PROC can be saved there with the same
name.

Answer / madhus s reddy

@kalpana: it is not possible to override the procedure. What
is the need of overriding the entire procedure?. you can
override only the dd statements in the procedures.

Answer / heman

I cannot totally agree with Dwivedi. But, to the question
whether we can override a PROC, still it is a question to
me. I haven't faced any such examples in my 4 years tenure.

Suppose a proc step has a DD statement like //ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE1,DISP=SHR DSN=TEST.FILE2,DISP=SHR and the above DD name is overridden from the JCL as given below //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3 - Will the DD statement now have just TEST.FILE3 or it will be TEST.FILE3 and TEST.FILE2? Suppose if it is overridden twice like //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE3 //procstepname.ABC DD DSN=TEST.FILE4 Will this give a JCL error? If not, what will be final output?
