Examples of the PROC statement

Example 1

//DEF     PROC  STATUS=OLD,LIBRARY=SYSLIB,NUMBER=777777
//NOTIFY  EXEC  PGM=ACCUM
//DD1     DD    DSNAME=MGMT,DISP=(&STATUS,KEEP),UNIT=3390,
//            VOLUME=SER=888888
//DD2     DD    DSNAME=&LIBRARY,DISP=(OLD,KEEP),UNIT=3390,
//            VOLUME=SER=&NUMBER

Three symbolic parameters are defined in this cataloged procedure: &STATUS, &LIBRARY, and &NUMBER. Values are assigned to the symbolic parameters on the PROC statement. These values are used when the procedure is called and values are not assigned to the symbolic parameters on the calling EXEC statement.

Example 2

//CARDS  PROC

This PROC statement can be used to mark the beginning of an in-stream procedure named CARDS.
