Why do you use a control card?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Answer / guest
A control card can be a member of a pds or a sequential
dataset and is used for storing the date fields, Definitions
of VSAM files....etc. You use control card because you
cannot use a instream procedure in a procedure. Generally
you will be calling a Proc from your Jcl and you cannot code
instream procedure in the Proc and so you will point to the
dataset which is called control card.

Answer / susmita
CONTROL CARDS are something that comes into play, where you
can't use sysin dd statement.. for example we can't use
sysin dd * in cataloged procedure. in this case you can
have your instream data under a pds-member and make the
sysin as
//sysin dd dsn=xyz.abc.pos(mem),disp=shr
