What is a PROC? What is the difference between an instream
and a catalogued PROC?

Answer Posted / sudheer

Proc is a set of JCL statements, which will be used to
execute the job steps. There are two types of procs
1. Instream
2. Catalog
Instream procedures are defined within a job and executed
within a job. To terminate Instream procedure we use PEND
keyword.
Catalgo Procedures are defined outside of the job as a
member of PDS and executed outside of the job. In this
there will be no PEND statement required
