Instream data is the Paratmeter we pass through SYSIN

Example
//NEWPROC PROC
//ABCPGM EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//INDD1 DD DSN=ABC.XYZ.DSP,DISP=SHR
//OUTDD1 DD DSN=PQR.XYZ.NOP,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO INDD(INDD1) –
OUTDD(OUTDD1)
/*

Answer / chowdary

instream data means we write with in jcl itself, up to 15
level is possible. it should start with proc and end with
pend statement
ex: //jobcard
//exce proc
//
//
//pend

If a jcl has just 1 step and the input file to this does not exist, then what will happen if we submit this job?
