Hi Ramya,
There are 2 kinds of PROC
Instream and Catalog

Instream is written in the JCL itself and will be ended
with Pend

Catalog PROC's is written in another Member of the PDS and
called by the JCL

The Catalog PROC is more advantage because it can be used
by more than one JCL. so Generally most of the Companies
used Catalog Procs.
Hope this helps you

Thanks
Manjunath

Instream and Catalog procedure
Catalog Procedures:
A cataloged procedure is a set of JCL statements that are stored as a member in a partitioned data set.
Multiple jobs can invoke and use the same catalog procedure.
The main reason for using catalog procedures is to avoid coding the same JCL again and again.
Pend statement is optional in catalog procedure. So you do not need to code it in your JCL.


Instream Procedures:
The EXEC statements between the PROC and PEND statements are not executed when they are first encountered in the job stream. Instead, they are saved as a procedure to be called later.

Answer / mohamed khan

PEND can also be coded for a cataloged Procedure, but it's
Optional.

Up to 15 In-stream Procedures can be included in a single
job.
